Like ... Calipers and pads and rotors?
Or just pads
What does "brakes" mean in this context
But the simple answer is no

You should first check on pad and replacement rotor prices for a 2011 E63. The cost of the wear out parts may shock you. Also the hubs are different as are the axles. So is it possible, yes, if you have money to burn.

^^+1 on the above responses.
brake components are usually the fastest to wear and most expensive to replace on an AMG. just something to think about before you pull the trigger.

Mods may include new front axles, new hoses, new bearings, new hubs, new ball joints and upper and lower control arms and bushings and maybe new master cylinder and braking system under the hood. Going with after market Brembo brake package for your car will cost less and be easier.

I actually did a e63 brake swap on my e350. found a set of calipers/pads/rotors at a junk yard for $2k. painted, replaced the pads and installed for about $800. that would beat any after market brembo brake package if you really found a good deal like you said.
i'm not a mechanic and I had my brakes installed about 3 years ago but from what i remembered, it was pretty much a direct swap. the only thing i recall is having to use a different bolt somewhere but that was about it. stancelab has a w212 with the same swap as well so i'm sure they can give you better info about the installation.
everyone else is right about burning money. unless you can get parts at wholesale price, the front amg rotors had a price of 1500 for the pair. luckily i do get it pretty cheap so i have no regrets. my fav mod so far

honestly, i did it for the looks but yes the braking power is noticeable and i would say these prevented me from a few rear ends

sorry I wish I knew my offsets. had some problems with the whole process and never got the numbers.
no rubbing issues at all. with 2 people sitting in the back, the fender will sit right next to the lip. if my tires were not stretched, it would be running all day long

If you are going for looks then I can see a purpose, but if it's the performance you're after, better tires will do a lot more for braking performance than bigger brakes with larger calipers up to a certain point - basically saying that the better performance upgrade is a high end set of tires instead of an overkill braking system, but that's just my 2c

c2xbenzo: cheers mate! your car looks awesome!
AMG: Ive never known anybody who upgraded to bigger brakes for performance. it always comes second to looks. and anybody who says otherwise is a liar.
I couldnt agree with you more. but if the OP has the money to spend for the mod, id say go for it. im sure you'll feel happy everytime you look at them calipers! then sad everytime you replace them.

like I said before, my fav mod so far. it's expensive but there is no point in getting nice rims when you open the window wide open for people to see a set of small rotors and ****ty looking calipers. didn't really notice it until after i got my own bbk

Got the rotors and the calipers. New wheels are on order and should be here beginning of June. Gonna upgrade my brake lines and powder coat the calipers and put on new pads before i mount them up. Thanks for the input.

Swapping to the E63 brakes just increased the unsprung weight. This is where the suspension engineers recalibrate the spring rate plus the shock absorber compression and rebound damping. TANSTAAFL.
