2014+ E550 Coupe Front brakes same as E550 Sedan?
Sorry for another brake question - need to change my front rotors and pads due to a warped rotor on the front passenger side. Still looking at options and am still confused by some info online..
Are the front brakes on the facelift 2014+ E550 the same as the 2014+ E550 sedan? Some sites call out an application like "coupe only" and some dont which is confusing me on if the fronts are the same or not??
Same question really for the rears...are the rears the same?
I have a 2014 E550 Coupe so only interested in the info for the facelifted versions.

I was considering doing the Autozone rotors which come with a 2 year warranty, figured that would alleviate some of my concerns about warping and it would be easy to walk in to a local Autozone with a warped rotor than trying to do a warranty claim with an online only parts supplier.

Is this a problem with brake cooling? Is there any venting to the right front wheel area from the front of the car? I thought the sport package with the large openings were for added brake cooling.

Not sure, if you search around you will see alot of e550 coupe owners having trouble with the front rotors warping, especially the front passenger one. I bought my 2014 as a CPO and the rotors were changed as part of the CPE process according to my certification docs, I put 7k on since then and they warped in that amount of time. I do live in Phoenix, maybe the excessive heat and road temps doesn't help that? Not sure.

I actually just noticed this weekend that the passenger side "vent" on my 2012 is completely solid, driver's side is open. Wonder if it is the same on the FL models. Passenger side rotor is also the rotor that spins "backward" in terms of the directional cooling vanes...so it does seem that proper cooling on the passenger side is an issue.

I got the Centric sport rotors from TireRack. I like that they are drilled like OEM and also the vents and hat and coated black. Warped 2 sets of OEM rotors in 30K miles and keeping fingers crossed these last.

just need to know if the 9.5 rim and 285 tire will not stick out pass the fender flare. I want bigger but not the drag racer look of bulging tires!
