Anyone convert to CCB later?

Just curious on how difficult this is. Can it be done by a handy person with a good tool set?

I am finding a few full sets claiming to be new at ~$13k, which seems reasonable for an $8k new option. I wonder what the steel brakes (slightly used) are worth for resale.

Any programming/electronics involved?

Thanks!

Do you think you will feel a $13,000 difference?

I hate to say it but search. You will find all the answers.
When I bought my car with CCB I searched a lot about that option.
I saw a lot of guys in the C63 forum buying all the pieces and documenting the process with part numbers.
I think you could do it if you're handy around a car.

Used prices, check out the classified section.

FYI, all of my AMGs going forward will have CCB. They are that good.

I bought MB AMG CCB brakes, the install is straight forward as it's OEM
Brake is much better, never fade during high speed runs
Any steel brake vibrate after some hard brake on highway / track like my 997 turbo, GTR, AMG , M135i
I also change my GTR with carbon brake, well worth the money

Hemophilia is prevalent among males, especially Canadian ones. Might want to check with your doc to prevent any excessive bleeding from occurring.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. Bradford, Atlanta is on my short list, but need a CCB backup plan if it can't happen.
