I am getting ready to replace the rotors and pads on my 13 CL 63 (C216). I know this is an E63 forum, but you all have the experience. Obviously, I could go stock, Brembo does not list a set, but Racing Brake and Giro Disc have the parts. Giro Disc does not have the front pads. These are the odd two caliper front brake system.
I am not interested in changing calipers. Reasonably sure they are 390/360 mm but do not know anything about offsets or thicknesses.
I would appreciate your thoughts.

Check out Fcp euro for options. Also Brembo does make pads for the e63 and im pretty sure it's the same pad for you. They often are on sale all over the net. Sometimes the reviews are not great but I do have them in the rear (couldn't beat the price at about 60 bucks) and they have been fine. The packaging was very impressive as well. I dont track the car or anything.
I needed new pins on the right rear caliper as the upper pin was 'bent' and a PITA to get out.
The pins on the left side came out without issue. If it wasn't for the pins on the right rear it would have been less than an hour easily to do the rear including moving a jack around the garage.
I will be doing the front rotors and pads this coming spring. Will go with EBC Red pads and Zimmerman rotors again.
Hoping the pins don't give me any issue.
I have used the EBC pads on other vehicles and liked how they 'felt'. I do not track the car or carve up canyons and for my driving the pads exceed what I need.

Thanks for the replies. This is a CL, think S coupe. The fronts are 390mm. Zimmerman only has fronts, and they are not two-piece. FCP was Zimmerman (front's only), Mercedes and a SHW brand. Brembo does make pads and could probably find a disc that would fit. The pads are out there but thinking about a matched set with the rotors. I just started looking, so I will continue my research. Thanks again.
