Time to change the brakes (all the way around). Found FCPeuro has the Brembo retrofit 2 piece rotors for significantly less than the 1.5 OEM. Anyone try these? Are they at least as good as the OEM?

are there any other brands or kits to consider?

Also trying to find a guide with the torque specs to change the pads and rotors on my own.

dealer quoted $4k for just the front pads and rotors

thanks!

FCPEuro is 100% the way to go every time no questions asked.

Search this site. @konigstiger probably posted the WIS already.

Caliper bolts need replaced. They are single use fasteners.

FCPeuro doesn’t have a kit for the rears- any recs?

I'd call them and ask if you're missing something. Usually the front brakes are the big spend from OEM, the rears tend to be much cheaper so your best bet may be just to buy from a benz part retailer online.

I’m using the brembo 2pc fronts on my 212 wagon. Rotors in rear too. Got mine from Newparts.com.
Pads can be any, either Brembo or couple others. Rear brembo pads don’t seem available in US.
Rotors great. Better than stock.

Have you tried their lifetime replacement?

Anyone running the Brembo in the front and MB factory ones in the rear?

I got my front ones replaced with FCP brembos both disks and pads , and I did rear pads only keeping stock rotors just changed pads , works with no issues , I’m at 50k miles , will replace rear rotors next time with new brakes pads provably around 80k , rears seem to last longer , I did not resurface old rear rotors just installed new pads on top

saved ton of $ and works with 0 issues

I have, it's very easy and can be done on their web-site just need to reference you past order (what you are returning) and a newer order (for same product) then you return the parts and get store credit. I even send back oil and get credit within a day of receipt.
