2014 CLS63 AMG S
New saying hi!

Just purchased this 3 weeks ago. It’s a 2014 CLS63 AMG S with 26K miles. This is in perfect condition, still smells new inside and the dealer also threw on brand new Pirelli tires since it had the original’s on. I’m new to the Mercedes world so I’ll be here searching and learning.

congrats!!! Beautiful whip!!!

we're trying get the traffic...and mod advice...up over here. There’s just not a lot of us around. In the meantime...if you have engine mod questions that go unanswered...the W212 forum will likely have it. As more of these beasts hit the used car market...this forum should grow!!!

welcome!!!

Thanks fellas! The more I drive it the more I like it. I’ve tossed the idea around modding it but since it’s my daily, it isn’t all the important since I will probably put 20K miles on it a yr with work. I most likely will never change the exhaust but a chip or small tune might be in the future. I’m almost done building my hopefully 1,400rwhp Cobra so I’ll have the power somewhere else haha!

LOL! Sorry. Carbon Ceramic Brakes. I can't quite make out if you have red or orange brake calipers from your picture. KW HAS is a "Coilover" suspension system that allows you to lower your vehicle with the addition of ride height adjustability (As opposed to lowering springs that you can't adjust).

Haha!! Ok gotcha. I have the red calipers. I did see the buy option for the CCB’s but i’m Not paying 12K for them! I honestly drive this car like gramps and will never track the car so really there isn’t a need. I would like to lower it a bit without loosing any ride comfort, is that possible with the coil overs?

IMO, yes! I had the HAS installed last summer and I honestly can not tell the difference in ride quality. I have seen a post or two about people complaining the ride is too "harsh", but, then again, there are people on these boards complaining that the E63S are too stiff anyway. You retain full use of the factory ride settings as well. Here is a couple of pics of mine... not CLS though... 1st cousin

Thanks! The brakes are great... specially when I didn't shell out and EXTRA $10K for them Just wanted to illustrate what bringing the ride height down 1/2" or so would do for the overall look of your car.

True enough, however, if you ever need to replace them........be ready! Nice center caps too, I have them as well

I have stated this before in W212 threads... I have read on the web from different sources that CCB rotors are supposed to last 100K+ miles. I picked up this car in Sept of 2017 w/ 30K and as of last weekend I am inching up to a whole 2K miles on top of that. Pretty save to say that this car will be in someone else's hands long before I am any where close to 100k And if by some miracle I ever get to drive this thing that much and I actually run down the rotors and I need to replace them... https://www.evasivemotorsports.com/s...-16-405x34-2p/ and sell those calipers on eBay Yeah, not a big fan of the lug covers that came on these wheels. I was between the star or these.... AMG toilet plunger and tree FTW... eBay, baby!
