W211 E63 front discs and pads

[gooldie]

Need to replace the front discs and pads on the front of my E63, been looking around at verious options all of which are expensive apart from this one.

MERCEDES E Class (W211/T211) E63 AMG EBC Standard Front Brake Discs D1751 Only £231.63

These claim to fit the E63, can anyone confirm if this is true?

 

[BaldGuy]

OEM only IMO if its an AMG....

 

[gooldie]

Done a bit more research on the forum and with the forum discount from Eurocar parts i think i will just stick to the OE ones, still not cheap at £1139 for discs and pads

Gooldie where you from in Glasgow? never seen you about.

i did some researching into E63 Discs and got a really good quote from evosport in US for a set of front discs they also gave me a good deal if i bought all round but my rears are practically brand new.

i was thnking if a few of us E63 owners bought a few sets we could get a really good discount from them.

Thats's them there

I looked at exactly the same ones, and got a quote for shipping etc. The front discs were working out at $1450 but shipping was $438, which would have been cheaper than main dealer, however if they can be bought through Eurocar parts with discount that would be the best option IMHO.

Gooldie,

I did my front discs last year, and I'm afraid you won;t get the discount from Eurocarparts as they are special order and they won't apply it.

I looked quite heavily into what the options are including shipping them from the states, but as has been pointed out, the shipping is very expensive due to the weight, and the other thing you'll get stung with is VAT applied on import. As they are high value I'm afraid you will get stuffed on this making it cheaper to buy in the UK. ECP is still the best deal, (I believe he guy said I was the first to ever order these from them!), with Inchcape not too far behind

 

[gooldie]

Just curious why the discount won't apply, as I got through to checkout stage and discount was applied no problem.

 

[scottishv8owner]

Yeah, I thought that too, but then got a call saying it doesn't apply to special orders or something. Basically its an OEM item they buy from mercedes so they get a minimal discount, I mean it comes in the mercedes box and everything.

 

[c_200k]

If thats the case then i'm defo buying the evosport ones when the time comes

just checked my email and near enough £1k delivered to my door for front discs.

 

[gooldie]

Agreed, but probably will go for these from the US Two-piece rotor (Open Slot) - MERCEDES FRONT

 

[scottishv8owner]

I found my price comparason spreadsheet I made up (no jokes about tight scotsmen please)

the dollar exchange rate and shipping will have changed for the worse because the pound has dropped, but you get the idea....

Note you can buy the racing brake discs from amazon and they're cheaper!

Also note if you buy in the UK, car parts for less are better than Eurocarparts although they are the same outfit.

Not sure if there is any impact on anyone's warranty using non-OEM etc.

Also, I fitted the new discs and pads myself, really easy to do.
