2013 CLS550 brake upgrade

Ok so I have been told by the dealership that my rotors are warped and need to be replaced; so of course the quote was astronomical. Does anyone know if I can buy used AMG (CLS or E class) to replace mine? Anyone have any experience with CEIKA brakes? I'm not sure what direction is best....any thoughts?

I don't know the answer but there's some discussion in this thread just down the page - https://mbworld.org/forums/cls-coupe...e-package.html

It looks like it's possible but it isn't cheap!

I see you're in Memphis, have you taken it to Smith Imports for a quote? I had a look at some cars there a couple of years ago and they seemed like a decent outfit.

Aftermarket rotors are a viable option. Just avoid ceramic pads.

Your complete CLS550 brake solution center:

For 2013 CLS550, there are different options from just stock rotor replacement to complete BBK.

Stock replacement:http://www.racingbrake.com/Two-piece...012-p/2499.htm

Complete brake system upgrade:http://www.racingbrake.com/ProductDe...Code=MB-IRP-06

Our two piece rotors although cost more at purchase than conventional one piece, but it you factor in their durability & longevity they are actually "cheaper" than one piece rotors and not mention OE rotors.

RB complete brake kit costs less than a dealer's brake job, and you will be amazed on how RB brake system can transform your CLS into a well performed sports car.

I went with brembo rotors and ceramic pads, wasn’t a fan of the ceramic they are noisy and dusty. I switched to the brembo organic pads and I love them! I would love to do an amg conversion but it seems like the calipers are a little too big and from what I’ve read they need some machining done to get them to fit. Eventually I will be doing the bbk just saving now. But I’ll put a link to the rotors and pads. There is a lot of dust from the organic pads but not as noisy as the ceramic and stops better imo

pads they were hard to find but I found them on eBay seller name is partscontainer but this is the product
