No they are at prep stage before logo print and assembly. We will take a picture with RB logo and re-post.
This is a sand blast surface with hard anodizing finish quiet different from OE silver spray paint.

Here is the hard anodizing finish with RB logo.
This finish cost a lot more to furnish, which is most preferred by most serious track racer for it's durable finish - No fade in color, resistant to brake fluid attack (not powder coating), surface is highly resistant to scratch, nick, or chipping that can easily happen to powder coating finish.
We proudly print our RB logo to identify the quality we build into the calipers for the look, performance and durability.

They are standard FMSI#1666 brake pad - Same pad used for Mustang Shelby GT500 comes with Brembo calipers:
All our calipers use standard FMSI brake pads, so you are free to use other brands' pads, but if you are looking for a low dust, no squeaking and good braking power compound, our ET500 would be your best bet.
Here is a testimonial from a MB customer recently installed RacingBrake's ET500 on his SL550
Racing Brake makes me happy

For ML63 since we don't make pads for OE (iron) calipers but you can still use other mfgrs' brake pads as long as they are not ceramic compound.

I have question, if you don't mind please, and it may be a repeat. Do you make your ET500 compound on pads to fit my stock OEM calipers (with stock OEM rotors)for the:
2014 ML63 AMG (W166) and 2014 SL63 AMG (R231)
And if so, what are the model numbers, prices and how are they ordered. Thanks.

I believe I have answered my own questions and that is, in order to run your ET500 compound on my W166, I must use your brake kit (including your rotors and calipers) front and rear. However, I am still confused about the R231. Does the same condition exist or is it something else? Thanks.

Brembo Front: US $4,699.20
Brembo Rear US $3,857.62
Total: $8,562.82/car
Comparing to RB's car sets: $6,522.50, you save $2,042.32
Better yet, our rotors for the brake kits are made to the same exact size and offset. Not only this will retain the same brake balance as OE, you can swap them with stock, or other aftermarket rotors, which gives you the complete flexibility and can save you a lot of money on maintenance/replacement down the road.
A unique feature only available from RB brake kits.

Honestly CCB are waaaayyy overkill. If you knew the insane level of braking force the 2-piece steel racing brake kit has, you would never even bother with carbon ceramics, it's a waste of money and the steels are better for the streets anyways.
With DWS tires I cannot even use more than 70% of my brakes bc I will lock up the wheels at any speed (even 100mph+). I would need to run a Michelin pilot Supersports or an R-compound tire to max out these brakes (which is a bit ridiculous for an SUV.)
If you want to get a full RacingBrake BBK, get the stock diameter 2-piece kit with matching calipers, it is the best kit money can buy for our Ml63 application.
P.S. FYI, the stock rear brakes on the W166 ML63 are actually smaller than on the W164 so the braking performance is actually worse on the newer ML63. If you upgrade the W166 to this RB BBK it's actually an even bigger upgrade than the W164 because the rear rotor size upgrade is significantly greater making for a much better balanced braking ratio from front/rear.

Racingbrake,
Quick question, I never knew you offered SS lines for the ML63 application. Can I use these with my OEM calipers? I a mind Esperanto need of a brake flush (almost 2 years). If I can replace the brake fluid and lines at the same time I would love to knock out 2 birds with one stone!
PM me if you can offer them separately, thx

Don't have one
Is the W164 ML63 AMG's spindle the same as the W166 ML63?
Can anybody confirm this?, so we then know for sure Racing Brake's kit will for sure fit on the newer W166 ML63 amg.
ML63 AMG, can you confirm this?, or Racing Brake?
Thanks!!!

As we make SS brake lines for our caliper kits, we can also make OE brake line available.
Still waiting for OE lines to confirm the fitting and length etc.
