So I guess I'm not switching to the gold ceramic brakes on my 18 S63...

Hi Steve,
We have a price for W222 CCB kit, actually it fits all S63/S65 models.
It also fits S500 but front hub bearing should be modified or changed to AMG one (due to the different location of hole to fix the rotor on hub)

That's a bit too expensive for me right now. I'll have to think about it. Thanks for the info though. Man... carbon ceramic brakes can be really expensive. Dumb question but does that include the brake pads? And... are these the exact same brakes/pads that would come on a new 2018 S63 ordered with them? I'm guessing labor at my MB dealer is about $2k or so to put them on?

The best or nothing
Jan AMG, I will see what I can do. I am afraid that may be impossible for me to get the bulletin number again. I am an automotive technician by trade and have been working for Lexus for 25 years. We use a website called Alldata. The dealer pays for there subscription. Anyways periodically I will look up service bulletins for all of our vehicles. I came across the service bulletin, then enquired with my local dealer. They were playing dumb about it. I then searched again for the bulletin and it was removed from Alldata. Weird huh. Somehow a Mercedes tech who frequents these forums, private messaged me about the bulletin. I printed out everything and took it to my dealer. They said they have never seen or heard of that bulletin, however they did what I asked under good will, since I complained about it before when I was in warranty. The bulletin is only under warranty for one year and I think 10,000 miles, after that it would be customer pay. So I got the updated/redesigned brake pads for the CCB. I will try tomorrow for you and check, however I can not guarantee anything. It is so weird that the bulletin was there one week and then gone. For the most part the CCB's are quiet and they look incredible. When I go to Cars and Coffee, people are sometimes taking pictures of the brakes in addition to photos of the car inside and out. I was at an even on Sunday morning.

MY dealer quoted be about $1230 to install carbon ceramic AMG brakes. I think. It was about a month ago. This is what he wrote:

Would you guys be able to install these on my car if I bought them or do I need to go to an aftermarket place?
Thoughts on these? My wheels turn black after a day or 2 of driving! These brake pads were recommended by other S63 owners.
Thanks,
Steve

Brake actuators are not included, as can be reused.
