Brake pads and rotors for 2014 cls63
im at 36k miles and was told by the benz service guy i will need new rotors and brakes in the next thousand miles or so..
question is.. how many miles do rotors last?
any cheaper replacement opions out there? They have quoted me $2900 for fronts and $1090 for the rears

I just bought the complete brake package from ACG. Brake Rotors slotted/drilled, pads, sensors, fluid, and lines. Call them up and see what they can do, let them know your a forum member, James is the one Ive spoked with and he is really cool.

Try here also, I think I was around $1700 for all four rotors and I went with EBC redstuffs for a total around $2k.

I used girodisc replacements on my cls63, and racing brake rotors on my CL65. If I had to do it again, I 'd do the full RB kit on my CLS63. Best value and best quality.

In a performance vehicle, I don't think that is too surprising. All depends on your driving habits and how the rotors were worn in. Many Audi guys, including me on my last S car, woefully replace brakes/rotors around 20k.
It may also be the fact that MB recommends replacing rotors and pads simultaneously. I'm not sure if MB does but Audi definitely recommends this.

Im still using my rotors from when it was new , more than 5 years now and more than 200k km.
changed the pads 5 times till now ( average 40k km )
so the rotors can last long, if you don't wait till the pads are completely worn and your rotors gets screwed.

go buy the parts at mbdirectparts.com (a dealer in Omaha). rotors are 150 each and pads are 220 for OEM MB.

I think it depends on how different people drives the car. But I wouldn't believe them. I had my 2014 CLS63s in dealership in Hartford, CT for service two years ago and they told me I needed to change my pads and rotors, when the car only got 17K miles on it...... I'm still using the same rotors and they work just fine (50k miles now). So I think you should find a guy you can trust, not service advisors.

You need to be real careful here. If you brake hard on thin rotors they could shatter. It's all about whether your inline with factory width. So asks what spec is on your rotors.
Ali E55, you are out of your mind driving on rotors with 100k.

All rotors have a minimum thickness spec. If you're below the minimum then they need replaced. If above, you can just have them turned. I've gone over 100k on my rear PADS & ROTORS on my g35x. Miles don't matter it's how you brake & how much you brake that matters.

Racing Brake Rotors after 113,556miles
https://mbworld.org/forums/w211-amg/...-556miles.html
When you replace to pad friendly RB rotors be sure to go with our best value XT910 compound (upgrade to more heat resistant than original ET500). It's proven to be better than most the familiar brands you used to know. Give it a try and you would be as happy as this SL550 customer.
Racing Brake makes me happy

A discussion in GTR forum where people drove very similarly as Mercedes ( heavy car @sports mode.), and our explanation why we upgrade our compound from ET500 to XT910.

Hello, I just purchased a 2012 CLS 63 however I need to get new brake pads for the front and back in order to pass New York inspection. Ive been looking on rockauto.com for pads as they seem to have great prices but im really having trouble choosing the right pads for me. I also don’t know whether or not I should go with ceramic or a semi metallic pads because of the colder climate that I live in and how that would affect stop performance. With this car I drive it pretty hard, accelerating and stopping hard quite often. I was going to buy Centric pq pro semi metalic pads however I didn’t hear such good things from reviews on other forums. Rockauto also has Powerstop z26 carbon fiber ceramic performance pads as well, which seem quite good as they are listed as a step above the centric pq pro pads that they list as premium pads. However, rockauto only has the z26 pads for the front and not the rear, not sure if its a good idea to go with Powerstop z16 ceramic pads in the rear with z26’s in the front. Does anyone have a suggestion for what pads might be reasonable for my purposes. I’m not looking to buy oem pads as they are ridiculously expensive. Looking to spend $150 more or less in total for new pads all around.
