Performance is one thing but looks is a whole other animal. Are you looking to just do a rotor swap (although the fronts are cross drilled already and the system as a whole seem to do more than enough for the car) or are you looking to swap out the whole system? Something else that you need to consider is what type of rotor you want (slott, slott & cross drill, carbon ceramic). Than there is how many pistons you are looking for and what size? If you are just looking for companies that make a quality BBK than there is no better than ALCON IMHO.

You can't beat the S65 brakes for either. There are also similar kits from Brembo.

Brembo? You can paint any caliper any color you want... you can even have pink calipers if you so desire.

The AMG calipers are Brembo calipers.

Alcon, Stopteck, and Brembo all have carbon ceramic disk options. Reallyt expansive and used mostly on race/track cars.
