2017 E400 Aftermarket Brakes / Warped Rotors
Hi all,
This is my 2nd E400 I've owned. I had a 2016 sedan and now a 2017 coupe. Both cars experienced front brake rotor warpage, I'm not here to troubleshoot that. It's a known issue on these cars. Happening on my 2017 now with 33k miles. What I want to know is, has anyone upgraded their brakes and who did they go with?
On my 2016, I used brakeperformance.com. They were WAY better than the OEM ones. Not amazing mind you, but definitely a step up. Front and rear cross drilled, ceramic pads.
I noticed stoptech has a set for our cars, cross drilled and vented, cermic pads. Anyone try these?
Anyone try anything else they can share?

not the W213 and I understand your vehicle is not an amg, but they might have products that works? https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...nt-brakes.html

nope, but fun fact, at least on the C-Class, the W205 C 300 amg line brakes are the exact same as the W205 C 43. not sure about the E-Class though. Yes the calipers lettering is different but otherwise the parts have identical part numbers a forum member compared them back then.
