2023 GLC
AMG line model brakes

While laying under the rear of the car, hoping to find a 4-pin trailer connector somewhere (nope), I noticed the rear discs aren’t perforated. The ordering guide says:
AMG Line
U29 - Perforated Brake Discs with Mercedes-Benz Lettered Calipers

The rear discs got nothing but the ordering guide failed to specify front, implying it was all the way around.

Just an observation I thought I’d share.

As per most Mercedes models, only the fronts are drilled.

Thank you. Got it, I’m new to the brand.

From an outsider’s point of view, I would expect it to be on all 4 by their wording. They could just add “front” to the description to eliminate all ambiguity. It seems deceptive or misleading otherwise.

From the MB build, AMG line option
Sport brake system

Sport brake hardware includes perforated front brake discs, grasped by painted calipers featuring "Mercedes-Benz" lettering.

I’m glad they did better there but the MB build has only been out a couple of weeks. I had my GLC by then. Both the 2023 and 2024 ordering guide show the text I pasted in the first post.
