Will the brakes from a 2011 E63 work on a 2013 E350? i found a good deal on a used set. Any help is much appreciated.

 

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.

 

sorry for not clarifying myself. I can get rotors, calipers and pads. will they work? what else will I need?

 

^^+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.

 

Thanks for the response.
Im aware of the prices for the replacements. What mods would need to be done to get them to work?

 

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

 

Thanks for the response, the set i found is for around the same price. Calipers, rotors, pads. I will replace the pads and lines with new ones.

 

Car looks very nice btw. Good job.

 

thanks! i avoided the oem pads because of large amount of brake dust. i went with posi quiet which barely create any brake dust. unfortunately the ceramic pads are made for the front only

 

Are you using the original E63 rotors? Did you have to modify anything else?

 

OFF TOPIC...Nice stance mate. what are you lowered on? wheels and tyres specs?

 

Would you guys educate me on the differences between OEM and AMG brake system ?
For better brake distance ? or something else ?

 

yes I am using oem e63 rotors. the ones in the picture are brand new ones that I recently changed to.

thanks. lowered on kw v1 coilovers. wheels are front 20x9.5 on 225/35, rear 20x11 on 255/35.

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

what offsets F/R? Any rubbing issue with that height?

 

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.

 

Now what about the rest of the upgrade (apart from the brakes). I mean the exhaust, suspension, transmission, engine, etc and finally the AMG badge !!!.

 

Lol^

I think it looks nice. Good job.

 

Looks good! you got a steal on the brakes!
