2019 AMG GLC 63 Brakes
Getting pulsating in front, suspect warped rotors. Hence rotor and pad replacement coming up. I have a guy who works on Mercs wants $1800 to do the job. Fair? Are Brembo replacements for OEM any better or worse? Can I buy the parts on line myself and take to him? If so, any suggestions on where and what specifically to purchase for the entire job?
Thanks all!
Thanks all!

More good news, we got out hands on that Mercedes disc today and were able to verify that it is dimensionally identical to an existing application from us, p/n A2-248.
I have those in stock and ready to ship along with the fronts, the fronts are $1400 for the pair and the rears $1300.
Let me know if you have any questions and/or would like to get an order placed, thanks!

You likely have uneven pad deposits from not properly bedding the brakes and not regularly getting proper heat in them to maintain the pad layer. Warped rotors are mostly a myth. It takes immense force to warp a rotor the size of what's on a GLC63. Doesn't really happen, unless the rotor had runout from the factory or was improperly mounted. Most people with these cars don't bed in their brakes and so they drive around with mostly cold brakes and then a sudden hard braking can cause them to heat unevenly and imprint some pad material. Take it out for a proper bedding, which may remove the uneven pad deposits and even it out, but once you have the deposits you generally need more abrasive pads to remove the deposits first, before properly bedding them again.

Love the Girodisc on my GT3. I have the PCCB but didn't want to use them on the track. Can't go wrong with the stopping power and durability.

A) The Video talks about Street Pads vs. Racing Pads. Are the OEM on the car or that will be replaced considered Street or Racing on the 19 AMG GLC 63?
B) He discusses how to Bed Street pads from 60 mph to 5 mph 7/8 times of maybe two rounds of that. If these are Racing Pads, does that frequency change?
C) Is it your opinion I try the Bedding first before replacing to see if I can get rid of the pulsating? Or chances are these are shot and I have to replace an start all over?
Again, wonderful knowledge.

Most of us guys use in the GLC Club use the Centric Ceramic pads from RockAuto. Dirt cheap, work great and very little dust and we have some of the fastest GLCs in the Nation.

Thank you @superswiss for the fantastic information and video. Point of reference, I just got the car three months ago, so I suspect your assertion that they were not properly bedded in is correct. Couple of follow up questions
A) The Video talks about Street Pads vs. Racing Pads. Are the OEM on the car or that will be replaced considered Street or Racing on the 19 AMG GLC 63?
B) He discusses how to Bed Street pads from 60 mph to 5 mph 7/8 times of maybe two rounds of that. If these are Racing Pads, does that frequency change?
C) Is it your opinion I try the Bedding first before replacing to see if I can get rid of the pulsating? Or chances are these are shot and I have to replace an start all over?

Well I took her out and Bedded the existing brakes per the instructions from you, thank you. While it is a bit better on the vibration and pulsation..it didn't eliminate it.
Pricing on replacements based on recommendations is as follows: Please feel free to suggest others, pricing and links. Man, the shortage in just about everything has reared its head here as well.
So for Rotors:
FCP Euro and their fantastic warranty has the Fronts (VNE 2314211812) for $407 a piece.
FCP Euro doesn't have the VNE for rears just OEM for $618 a piece.
- Is it fine to have two different brands of Rotors on front and back?
Disc Italia Ceramic Pads:
Fronts - $230 / Rears $160
Grease and sensors about $20 bucks.
Thoughts? Recommendations? Again, thank you all for you advice and guidance. First trip into the AMG world.

My GLC 63 came with EBC yellow pads which are noisy and dusty. I've since purchased the Centric pads from Rock Auto but haven't installed them yet. I was also having the pulsating brake feeling and figured I need to replace my front rotors too. How would I know if I need to replace just my pads or my pads and rotors?

Rotors have a minimum thickness that's typically stamped on the hat. So you can measure the rotor and if it still has at least 50% left you can keep it for another set. Typically front rotors have about 2 mm of allowed wear so the minimum thickness is 2 mm less than the new spec, and the rear rotors have usually about 1 mm allowed wear. Additionally some rotors have dimples in them that have the depth of the allowed wear, so once those are gone you know the rotor has worn down.
We are seeing that rotors are usually required every other pad change.

OEM pads dust as hell and that ferrous dust rusts and bakes into rim and body paint pretty bad if you dont wash it off often. I used powerstop z23 z26 carbon fiber ceramic based pads on my other cars for like 12 years, those are no go for any kind of real racing activities but worked really well for regular and spirited driving with good initial bite, ok fading tolerance, above avg lifespan, easy on rotors and virtually 0 dust and noise. I never had a need to clean my rims for months and that small amount of dust wasn't corrosive and was easy to wash off. So i ordered em for GLC and will give em a try, will make some feedback post after i have some miles on em to compare with oem pads. BTW, paid 112 bucks for both front and rear shipped from rockauto, steal deal compared to other options.

How bout some custom caliper bracket design to use brembo 09931333 390x36 floating C63 2 piece rotor? That would be a nice option. Or maybe some1 can check if brembo 360x36 floating one could be used ..

As far as I know, based on the 130+ members in our GLC CLUB, there are no options for this and the C glass set up won't work.

More good news, we got out hands on that Mercedes disc today and were able to verify that it is dimensionally identical to an existing application from us, p/n A2-248.
I have those in stock and ready to ship along with the fronts, the fronts are $1400 for the pair and the rears $1300.
Let me know if you have any questions and/or would like to get an order placed, thanks!

Yes, those are the ones for the C63S. They also have a kit complete with pads and sensor, which is what I've got on mine and according to them, they do fit on the GLC.
