Hi, I have a 2009 C63 with performance pack.
The car has silver calipers. Are they the same brakes that come with the 2010+ onward performance pack?
Or are they the same brakes, with red colored calipers?
Thanks.
Trying to get an aftermarket set of rear discs for a 94 C36 as Mercedes want strong money. The car has the AMG front calipers and the front pads and discs have been sourced.
The rears I keep getting sent the wrong ones. The car came with 278x24mm discs, I ordered these from GSF and first...
Has anyone up rated the front brakes on a Slk 230k? Calipers and discs from another Merc? Have fitted new pads and discs all round, they just do not have the power of modern Mercs
Any assistance would be appreciated
I've have had my 2013 C63 For 6 weeks now, very happy with it :) but I have noticed an annoying squeal when coming to a stop or in traffic.
Have not contacted the dealer yet wanted to see if anyone else has this problem.
Thanks. Paul

Hi,
I have an old C200 that I bought as a cheap runaround but consequently fell in love with. It's my first merc :)
I had the front wheel off today and the discs and pads need changing. I'm going to check the back tomorrow, but I'm going to assume that they will need doing too.
I'm a...
Apologies, I guess this is primary school stuff but brakes are not really my thing.
Braking at slow speeds, for example when manouevering, causes quite a squeal from my brakes. Can't tell which wheel, it may be one or all of them.
How do I sort this out please, with common DIY tools if...
Hi all
My E320CDI has developed what I can only describe as a type of rumbling noise under heavy breaking. They are fine under normal or light breaking. Discs are fine, pads have got plenty of meat on them, the car has got full MB service historie and had a big service in July last year. I know...
I'm sure this topic has been covered before but I just wanted to throw it out there. What brake setup are you running on your 55k's? I'm in the process of changing discs and pads up front on my CLS. I was planning on going OEM but tbh haven't really explored what else is out there or if any of...
2009 Clk sport, just changed pads after dealer advised after the big service, the pads were changed when I bought the car some 14 months ago and about 28000 miles, had to drill pins out on offside, also piston outer seal knackered.
why do dealers not use copper grease when assembling the pins...
Hi all.
Was driving round the M25 to work the other day and noticed that when the wheels were straight, my off side front brakes were squeaking... At least I think it was the brakes. However, it stopped whenever a small amount of lock was applied on the steering.

Hello
After a service and a judder that I thought was a wheel weight its my disc on a brake that's warped?
I think the current ones are 330mm can I fit 350mm ones
They appear to me actually cheaper than 330 ones and I assume slightly better? or I can opt for drilled / grooved aftermarket...

Hello all I have a 2006 E 280 CDI, it's a face lift model.Iwould like to replace the pads and discs on the front. I have got nervous after reading some threads about SBC kicking in and losing a finger etc. how can I tell if my car has the SBC brakes, I think they stopped using this system in...
