OEM Brake Kit for C167 will save you some money.

While exploring the Mercedes-Benz parts system, we stumbled upon a new high-performance brake kit tailored for the latest GLE-Class (C167, V167) and GLS-Class (X167).
Remarkably, this OEM kit shares specifications with the AMG Performance red brake system but comes at a more accessible price, making it an excellent value option.

Today, we also upgraded a GLE53 Coupe (C167) with this brake kit.
To add a personal touch, the owner requested that the calipers be refinished in custom yellow, and we obliged.

This OEM high-performance brake kit features a front 6-piston caliper paired with a 400mm semi-floating disc.
Although the calipers are branded with the “Mercedes-Benz” logo, they are essentially the same as those found in the AMG Performance version, delivering superior braking power compared to the factory setup.

When deciding between options, if you prefer the authentic AMG experience, the AMG Performance version is ideal.
However, for those focused on practical performance and cost-effectiveness, this new brake kit offers a fantastic alternative that maintains high standards while being budget-friendly.

I was recalling my F80 (X3M comp) and the brakes on it, Washing the wheels was a waste of time, lol. My 53 is so much cleaner in that regard.
Enjoy them

You must not be familiar with disc brakes.
Hint: The dust isn't from the streets.
