What AMG were my brakes from?
Hi everybody,
Bit of strange story.
A few years ago, we sourced a complete AMG brake kit (at the time, I knew).
Fitted it to our GTR fronts and rear.
What I know is they are 8 Piston up front and 4 in the rear.
If I recall correctly, front rotors are 360mm.
Even though it has been 5 years and pads and rotors have not needed replacing. Eventually I will need to and to be able to do that, I need to know what the brakes came from to be able to find the necessary pads and rotors.
I will add some photos below.
If someone could help with what brake pads I need and rotors or recommend, that would be helpful.
I intend to track my car shortly, so pads and rotors will wear out a lot faster.
Are there high performance pads made for these calipers?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thank you
Simon
Edited photo for komp55.
Final product - photo that was posted was early days - trial fitment:
Couldn't find a good rear caliper/rotor shot:

8pot fronts could be from an older E55, they look like the pics here:

The rears look a little different, could a w209 CLK55 or R230 SL55 AMG?
Yeah they look like mine:
