The adaptor's hard anodized surface coating is finished:



Comparing to steel OE adaptor for 390mm rotor (C63 Black series):




OE caliper w/360mm rotor adaptor (C63)




OE caliper with RB adaptor for 390mm rotor (for CLS400/CLS 550 spindle fitment).

If you need it as stock, see the condition of the Rotors, as well as pads,,

but if you need to upgrade it, then you can go with "55K's" or "63's" brakes..

"W219 Cls55 or Cls63" Front calipers will fit, but you will need to enlarge the hole to (14mm), cause your knuckle use (12mm),,

"W219 Cls55 or Cls63" Rear calipers should bolt on.

i feel the same way in mine, I just bought a 2014 cls550 I had a c300 4matic and I loved that thing, the handling and the braking was great to me, I had a lot of fun in that car. The upgrade to the cls is unbelievable, it’s super fast but the braking seems lacking for the size and strength of the car, kinda wish I got it in 4matic but I got a great deal on the vehicle imo. Could just be time for pad/rotor replacement but either way instead of replacing wth stock I’m going to upgrade the rotors and pads, I’ll post when and what parts I order.
