Can’t really find options for this model year...including those mentioned above.
Any experience with R1 pads?

I put Porterfield on my S63 coupe. I'd have to look and see if they are different, not sure off hand

Just did MB brakes, front and rear, on mine @ 18,000 miles. Thankfully, didn't need rotors...I have searched EVERYWHERE, and could not find rotors, other than OEM. I use Girodiscs on my Cup car...... would love a option......any suggestions would be great! Thankx in advance for your help.

Worldmotosport and Craig installed the Girodisk 2 piece rotors and Rado brake pads are the best. Had it on my E63s, the stopping power on the pads were great, very low Brake dusk.

FYI. Just had MB dealer replace front and rear pads on ‘19 S63 at 19,000 miles for the 1st time without a need for rotors. Front pads/parts etc ($388.97) + labor ($159.54) totaled $548.51 while rear pads/parts, etc ($450.51) + labor ($159.54) totaled $610.05. Grand total parts/labor for front and rear pads was $1158.56.

If you can DIY, this is super easy to do. I just replaced the rear rotors on my s63 with brembo and oem pads for just under ~$400 total. Quite a bit less than the 4200 dealer wanted (though that would have been oem rotors). Took me less than an hour for both sides - 3 bolts on each side (2 holding the brake caliper and 1 holding the rotor).

I didn't do the front yet as they were fine. Not sure why this car likes to eat rear rotors faster than front. I don't know whether those brembo rotors will fit but I recall when I looked for an afermarket solution that was about the right price. If I figure it out, ill post here.

2014 s63 AMG.
Here is a new S63 AMG rotor. I need back ones soon ,so for 1200 with pads and sensor And rotors it’s half price, my concern is performance and warranty, I could see it ,my rear diff goes and it was the rotor that did it. Has anyone used these or have thoughts? Couldn’t find much about them.
