In case anyone is interested, Disc Italia just released their hyper ceramic low dust brake pads for MY19-21 G63. I had them on my GLC63 and they were fantastic in reducing the amount of brake dust on the wheels. Brake performance was good as well. I just ordered a set from Brakeworld. Had to email them directly since their online catalog isn't showing them yet.

Front set: $270 Part # HCD2238
Rear set: $250 Part # HCD2239

 

Great news! Thanks for sharing.

I had these on my 2016 RR Sport and it was like night and day difference. Hardly any squeaking and like 5-10% of the brake dust. Did not notice a difference in braking performance.

Will definitely get a set on my next G.

 

Would be great to hear about your experience

 

The prices alone make them appealing! Let us know if they mitigate the notorious G63 brake squeal.

 

So the stock brakes stopped squealing once the temps here in NY got above 60F a month or two ago. Since I know that the noise will come back when it gets cold again, I finally got my lazy *** up to swapping out the Disc Italia pads a few days ago. They are quiet now so I will have to report back during winter if they are quieter than stock. Brake job on the G63 was super easy to do.

 

Hello, just checking it to see if after nearly a year since you installed did the squealing stay stopped? Want to avoid the dealership holding onto our G and having it come back with dents and eventually squealing with new pads should they warranty them out.

 

Never had any squealing with the new pads

 

Excellent, thank you for the response.

 

Promise I searched for 30 minutes but cannot find a purchase link for the pads online.

 

I had to contact Brake World directly. Not sure why they never published it on their website. Hopefully they still sell them

 

Can you please keep us updated with their reply much appreciated

 

Just email them. They will send you an invoice and you just pay and get them.

 

yup, that's what I did

 

Has anyone found an aftermarket option for rotors?

 

only china made aftermarket right now

 

I recall someone mentioning on the forum that Brembo makes the same size disks. This seller on ebay seems to have the entire set.

long time lurker on the forum... just signed up, I have 2019 G63, the brake squeal and dust is ridiculous.

I just ordered a set of the disc Italia pads so we'll see how well they do.

Going to stick with rotors I have since they are still have plenty of life according to the measurements allowed.

Wonder how many dealers are convincing people to replace rotors at 1100-1500.00 a pop when they could have been used still.

I believe the allowable thickness is 36mm on the front, and 30mm on the backs. My 2019 is at 32k miles, and rotors measured 32.3 on the backs, and 38.2 on the fronts. and turning them is actually able to be done contrary to what the dealer tells you. and only removes .25/.5 mm or material when turning (some dont recommend turning them at all unless very deep grooving or warping)

So I think they may be fine probably 1/2 the time the dealer recommends new.

 

good to know they've been good on the squeal. As an FYI I live in Arizona, where it's currently 110 degrees, and rarely under 60 degrees, and the brakes on my g63 have squealed like a u-haul truck regardless of the temp outside.

 

Who are you guys getting to instal them after you buy them? Are you doing it yourself a or taking them to a shop?

 

I'll be doing it myself. Ive done brakes on many cars, and cars with performance style brakes like brembo or other 6-8piston calipers are usually easier than standard brakes which is surprising to some.

It's very simple job maybe 20-30 min per corner. If that.

Thats with out turning the rotors, I don't think I'll bother with turning the rotors, as they are in decent shape and have plenty of life left in them. But add 5 minutes per corner if installing new rotors. If you wanted the rotors turned pulling them off and taking them to a machine shop or even some autoparts stores will do it for you. At shops they usually turn them while on the car to make it quicker and easier, but you could just as well take them off, bring them in, turn them, then put back on.

I had sourced OEM rotors as low as 700.00 per rotor. So realistically if you can turn a wrench, and have ever changed your own oil or put a spare tire on its quite simple. So if you wanted brand new OEM brakes pads and rotors, and you did the labor yourself you could get the price down to @27-2900.00 total for all 4 corners.

Dont let a dealer rip you off on rotors you dont need, dont let them tell you they cant be turned, they can be turned. Dealers say that because theyre cross drilled, but cross drilled steel rotors can be turned.

Its stamped right on the rotor hub mim thickness is 36mm on fronts, and 30mm on rear. So measure them with a caliper, or if you have a dealer do the job ask them to see the rotor measurements if they're requiring them to be replaced.

My other car is a BMW M5 Competition and its got close to 70k miles on it now, and just now had to replace rotors. And it's a very similar brake set up, and I would argue the M5 ones get abused more but still lasted 70k miles.

You should be able to get at least 2 sets of pads out of 1 set of rotors. The ones they came with , then at 25-35k miles new pads, then 50-70k new pads again with new rotors.

 

To confirm, email them directly for an invoice to purchase and since installing the front pads 2 months ago, no more squealing like a semi-truck and there is no discernable difference in pedal feel or brake performance vs the stock pads.

 

Yes thanks, I emailed them directly last week, and should have the pads in hand in the next few days.

 

I just received my set of front and rear pads today. Ordered last Thursday. They ship from eastern US so east coast US folks will get them quickly.

 

Mine came in today, I tossed them on myself fronts and rears in about 2-2.5 hours. My rotors were good, didn't even need to turn them. 520.00 for the pads.

Have only driven it around the block a few times, but there is zero squeal or squeak (for now, we'll see 10k miles from now, thats how it was on my M5 Comp they were quiet when new, then eventually got loud) .

Looking forward to less dust, and hopefully they stay quiet.

I'll say (and it could just be placebo effect) but they maybe have a little less initial bite than the OEM ones, but they feel ok for now. Maybe after they get fully bedded with the used rotors, they'll have equal bite.

Pleased so far!

 

Any tips or tricks for the install? I plan to tackle mine this weekend.
