It's encouraging how many more reasonable priced alternatives are popping up for the brake discs on our cars.
yeah my dealer wants $3300 for front pad/rotos and $1500 for rear pad/rotors... thats nuts! The brake kit and the girodic seem better performance and price too compared to OEM

That's crazy!! for $ 1400 you can get upgraded brakes 🤣🤣 looks so much better inside the wheels too.
Can we purchase the brackets alone? Or can they supply light weight giro disc 390 mm with brackets as a kit. Seems size is what’s upgrded which is great. I’m very interested on getting lager diameter rotors along with the saving of unsprung weight giro disc can add
check this thread out, https://mbworld.org/forums/w212-amg/...placement.html
I have a 2015 E63 AMG S, and replaced the fronts with the 2 piece rotors, (I believe it was around 750-800 for 2 of them, brembos)
I did the rears and fronts with sensors and all the parts cost me $1100....labor was cheap for me cause I have a mechanic friend (charged 80/axle).

those are stock size I believe . 360 mm. For 390mm it requires a bracket adapter
Not trying to thread hijack here, but I just replaced my front rotors and pads this week as well and wanted to offer up another option.
After a lot of research on this forum and some if / then compatibility analysis, I bought 1-piece Zimmerman rotors (Part number 0004212012) from FCP Euro that were advertised for the C63.
These bolted right up to my base E63 wagon with zero issue. I understand that 1-piece and 1.5/2-piece are not equivalent performance wise, but I do not track, so I was not too worried about any loss of heat dissipation of the 1-piece vs 1.5-piece during daily driving.
The 1-piece rotors cost about $250 for the pair, and have the added benefit of the FCP Euro lifetime warranty. I paired mine with EBC reds and they're performing great a week in.
Here is a comparison of the Zimmerman vs my worn OEM rotors.

I guess that would be a good option to downgrade. heavier disc and 1pc cast. Zimmerman are cheap option.

Girodisc only make 360mm no 390 mm I put my brakes on the scale the 390 mm 2 PC are the same weight as the oem 360mm 1pc. so no weight adding just going bigger and down the road you can buy only the rings.

ahh ok gotcha. Thx definitely going to look into it
Seems giro disc sells 390mm for the sls amg. Does anyone know if the offset is the same. That would be a great upgrade seeing as the giro disc are lighter then factory 2 piece. Rb also sells a big brake kit but they don’t list bracket to be sold separate
