The best or nothing
I received my GTR from AMG factory yesterday. They changed brakes including new rotors, new improved calipers and with new pads from pagid. Also they changed me radiators and they added brake cooling ducts for front, front face lift aero and they modified rear diffusor. New software for engine and transmission. Everything of course on warranty.

What brake ducts from AMG?
What radiator changes?
OEM brake pads are Brembo front and Pagid rear
What aero improvements?
I sincerely hope that he has had a bunch of parts replaced gratis by MB. But it won’t have been done at the “factory”. Perhaps that’s a language issue though.
IF these improvements exist I’d like to know about them to see whether we can purchase them to make the car even better.

I'm going to be "rough" but some of you are trolls and regular *******s. You were laughing that it was my fault, that i can't drive, use brakes etc etc. I don't want to spend time on forums waste time, to argue etc. I have more interesting things to do than running and taking pictures cause some of you think that i'm full of bull****. I'm not going to post any pics.
If someone wants to see it, drop me a pm and i will send it by email. That's it. End of subject.

Sorry you had to go through that.
Can we all agree that ronin amg needs to check his attitude at the door before putting on his typing gloves?

So the OEM pads also come with shims; stainless steel though I think, to try and help keep heat from the pistons; dust boots, etc.

Another member here who I trust 100% stated the same thing, so I for one want to apologise to the OP for coming across perhaps as a douche, and being too skeptical.
My experience with the OEM CCMs is far different than the OP’s, but then again I’m not driving my car on the ‘Ring, and as always, individual driving styles make a huge difference in outcomes. Perhaps I’m just too feckin’ Slow as I get older! lol
MegaLOL: please accept my apologies, and please post what ever you feel comfortable doing as it will be greatly informative to the group. I for one did not know that there were significant revisions to the ‘base’ GTR for 2020, and would be excited to find out if there are any options to the car that I can purchase from my local dealership to enhance it’s performance.

Totally agree with the sentiment from Bishman and the rest of the group here. At the end of the day we’re all just passionate car guys and we want the best and the latest for our cars.
Your factory mods, will go along way in confirming that AMG is committed to fixing the very few shortfalls of the GTR.

This made from a special titanium alloy, with much lower thermal conductivity than ss shims. It is a trivial and race approved decision. Many brands are making this item for different cars. I know for sure how it works. If you want to shield temperature...... this can help . Price is not huge , so easy to check or lets say google search for feedbacks.
