I think its a waste of money......AMG brake are huge!!
I thought AMG brake were made by Brembo ?? ...I would just upgrade to Evospor rotors and ss line ....maybe hawk hps pads.

Yes, aftermarket brakes such as the Brembo GT and other floating rotor BBKs are an improvement over the stock AMG brake system. The biggest improvement is the reduction of unsprung weight (approx 7-8 lbs per corner) in the suspension, which translates into improved handling response, acceleration and braking.

Yes, the factory calipers are sourced from Brembo and utilize 8 pistons in the front and 4 in the rear. Unfortunately, they use an extremely heavy 1-piece rotor/hat setup. The Evosport rotors are a cost effective way of reducing unsprung weight and still using the factory calipers.

But yes a lighter (and larger) disc is the biggest advantage...

if money is a issue, just buy the evo disc and pagid int pads this was a night and day difference. I would give this mod a a+ for the money and i tested this set up at the track they worked A LOT better than stock.

Brembo compares to the stock AMGs?
One word. Solid.
Where are you located?
Come out and I'll let you drive my car then you can feel the difference yourself.
