Big Brake Kit for G-Class

We have a big brake kit thread under AMG section here:

So it's not surprising you would find a bunch of 18" AMGs for sale because many people who have G55's model year 2003-2008 are going for the more current look of the 19" or 20" rims. To each his/her own I guess. I personally like the 18" AMG ones that came stock on mine.

I wonder after upgrading to those big wheels how you treat your brakes, and is OE brake set up enough to deal with the weight and speed of the G.

brake kit for 21"+ wheels

For 21"+ wheels, we have 432x34mm front, 410x30 rear BBK

For 20"+ wheels, we have 390x34mm front, 390mm rear BBK

In addition to iron rotors, we can also build rotors with Carbon Ceramic to save you lots of weight.

OE replacement two piece rotors are also available. RacingBrake has everything you need to tune/upgrade your G brake, from just caliper rebuild, brake pad to the complete brake system.

Call us @714-871-6392 or PM us for your brake needs.

Front Carbon Ceramic Rotor Kit for G

We have just released CCM rotor (400x36mm) upgrade for the newest Dodge Trackhawk here.
https://www.racingbrake.com/RB-CCB-R...k-F-p/2c11.htm

We can make the rotor fit under OE 6 piston calipers with an adaptor, so you spend ~ $5-6 K in stead of $20K for the complete kit.

What's your year and model and stock size. Stock 18" wheel or aftermarket. It will be helpful if you can post some picture of your existing brake set up.

Hi Racing Brake

I have a MY19 G63 (W463A) with the Brabus 800PS upgrade and 23" Brabus wheels. Do you have a big brake kit to fit? Lots of space

Would be looking for 8 piston min on the front with big steels or CCBs if available. And a proper rotor size and caliper on the rear rather than the silly 1 piston OEM piece
