Brand New 8piston,4piston brake AMG kit/Rotors and Pads!!!
i Had ordered 3 weeks back Brand New Amg 8 piston front and 4 piston rear Calipers, Brand New Zimmermann cross drilled front and rear rotors and New EBC redstuff ceramic brake pads for my 2003 s500 4matic. I also had them Powder Coated Canary Yellow cost me $350. not that cheap autozone stuff!!.
To my surprise they do not fit and will not work on my car because it is 4-matic. I wish i would of done more research on this before spending all this money and not being able to put the kit on which def pissed me off.
I went too two of the Top Performance shops in NY including TTmotorsports in Long Island and AI Design in Westchester.
Anyone who is interested please PM me serious Offers for the Entire Kit....

Hey all this great, If I was in the market for a new brake system I would be all over it. Just be aware of the nature of Red stuff brake pads, they are for track use for a reason. I had them on my car for about 2 weeks and noticed the rears were not grabbing because I would still have rust on the rotor surface. These pads require heat cycles to warm up to "bite". What ended up happening to me, because the pads did not warm up they did not operate, so I was stuck with just the front calipers stopping the car. (Cause and effect) ended up cracking the front two rotors from the added stress of stopping a 4000lb+ car from 120mph. Greenstuff is great no heat cycles and less dust. Red stuff will tear your car up because they will not grab without the heat cycles. So unless you going to do a few high speed stops everyday before you leave to go to work I would say keep the red stuff for the track. Good luck with the sale.

I use redstuff on ALL my street cars, and they are the BEST street pad I have ever used.
It is the yellow stuff that are track only. Although several of the C32 guys use them on the street, they do require heat to work. Not that this is a problem my friends Atleast how I drive.
See yeah
