I wanted to share my studied combination for all new rotors and brake pads for my AMG S63 W222

RACING BRAKE ROTOR KIT PART# 2237 & 2357 PRICE $3000 NOTE: These are lighter than OEM less rotating mass = quicker acceleration
RACING BRAKE STEEL BRAIDED BRAKE LINES PART# RBL-022 PRICE $172.00
EBC PADS "RED STUFF" PART# DP31939C & DP32350C TOTAL PRICE $310
MOTUL RBF 700 ( HIGH BOILING TEMP ) PRICE $34.00 X 3 = $102

I will install and follow up with a review but i'm pretty confident this is a excellent combination over OEM BREMBO especially cost wise.

I hope this information helps fellow members

How do the rotors achieve less weight (material, dimension, construction)? Any wear life expectation?

Racing Brakes has that information on there site.

Few questions for you.
Sounds like your primary motivation was weight savings. How much performance do you expect to gain?
Pretty costly, but looks like the rotor ring is replaceable. Is there any chance the replacememnt ring fits on the OEM rotor hat?
Why the upgraded lines and fluid? Do you track your car, or plan to?
What about brake squeal and brake dust? Do either of those matter to you, and if so, what do you expect?

Weight savings is ALWAYS the goal and let's face it our cars are ORKAS on land but all the little things add up at the end of the day.
Costly in comparison to OEM yes but not 3rd party in my opinion.
The upgraded lines are due based on mileage in my head but im a little **** about things. Besides the new braided lines will provide better feel . And i do visit the dragstrip often with my car.
Brake squeal will not be an issue im sure and brake dust from the EBC 'red stuff" will not be as bad as OEM brake pad dust.
