For the 8 piston cars, I have the Akebono Ceramics, PRICEY compared to semi metallic options but will cut down on the amount of dust. Also the dust they produce is a lighter color. They are located here:

The fronts are Brembo @ $459/each and rears are Zimmerman @ $102 each.
Can you confirm 100% that these can be used as direct replacement for OEM rotors on 15 W212 E63S sedan 4matic non-ceramic brakes?
Wanted to confirm since there's been a rare few times when I've ordered from FCP and a part shows as "IT FITS" for a specific MB model but is actually incorrect (i've experienced this with FCP parts on MB cars which were different for 4-matic models vs RWD which the FCP site for some reason doesnt always specify the 4-matic fitment only)..
Let me know as I've not seen any front rotor options with Brembo aside from the OEM which are 800+ per rotor. Thx J

Feel free to PM me if you come across a fitment discrepancy in the future especially ones pertaining to 4M vs RWD so I can get it corrected. In reference to your rotors the Brembo two piece units you linked to are 110% plug and play, no modifications needed to function on your 63 S 4M.

Kyle, I am looking at the Zimmerman kit you have for my 2007 E63. I see many comments on this forum saying that you have to paint them or they will rust because they are not coated: https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/mer...-trw-c63p30fbk

When the brake pads make contact with the rotors, it will wear off the paint on the braking surface. But the rest of the rotor will be protected. I bought rotors that were already treated with a rust inhibitor. After after a year, they still look good. And if you look closely, you can still see the coating, especially on the rears.

old thread but am due for front/rear rotors and pads.... Kyle - saw these front and rear rotors on FCP site which come up as "IT FITS" for my 15 E63S 4matic / non-ceramic.
The fronts are Brembo @ $459/each and rears are Zimmerman @ $102 each.
Can you confirm 100% that these can be used as direct replacement for OEM rotors on 15 W212 E63S sedan 4matic non-ceramic brakes?

The specs appear to be identical to the OEM with the exception of ours being considered 1.5 piece rotors instead of 2-piece.
It seems the 1.5 made rotors are fitted to the AWD cars and the 2-piece to RWD only based on the fitment list.
QUESTION: Has anyone purchased and is using the 2-piece rotors for aggressive driving? My concern is the construction of the 1.5 is more robust for our AWD application.
Also, has anyone tried EBC Blue or Yellow on the W/S212 AMG?

Which Akebono pad are you using? Part #?
Did you change out the rear rotors or pads as well?
