- 2014 e63 estate, 2018 bmw f30 m performance
Hi guys,
Hope you all are well in these difficult times, this is my first post so I’ll introduce myself a bit first. I’m 32 from Newcastle I’ve got a couple of businesses doing damp proofing and kitchen/bathrooms, also am a property investor and have a portfolio in Newcastle. I was a mechanic for 10 years before moving onto property. Currently got a white 2014 S212 e63 estate, had it a few weeks (previous car history w212 e63 saloon, m3, f type v6, evo’s)
I’m looking to keep this car for a couple of years at least, my previous e63 saloon I got to stage 2 (Gad tuning) and around 700bhp but the brakes weren’t the best at all and suffered from brake fade even though the pads were in good nick and discs not bad also.
I’m thinking of getting the tte900 package by msl to take to over 900bhp but first ( I’ll talk about this on another post after) I want to get some new front discs and pads. I know the brakes obviously aren’t cheap and believe me I’m not going for the cheapest option I want the best so can you guys give me some feedback on these discs and pads or if you have any better options to go for. When I say the best brakes I want a bite from the brake pedal at high speed, I won’t be going on track but will be doing a lot of high speed runs having to brake suddenly:-
This is the cheapest option with the 2 piece brembo discs and platinum pads (I’m a bit sceptical of the pads having never heard of them but could do this option without the pads and just go for oem pad option)
The second option is genuine discs and pads from Mercedes, you guys probably know this but it’s a lot cheaper getting these on eBay than it is going into Mercedes yourselfs. I rang up for this package from merc newcastle and was going to be over £1200 just for discs! I would prefer to go with the brembo or tarox 2 piece discs though so it helps dissipate the heat more plus looks better imo
lastly here me have the tarox discs, these are specially made to order from tarox in Italy themselves. One question tho guys are the s212 e63 discs the same as w212 e63 discs as tarox weren’t sure and these are made to order? For pads with these I was thinking ebc yellow stuff pads? I used these years ago on my 600bhp evo and they were good not sure on a car about 600kg more tho.
that’s it guys any help or feedback would be greatly appreciated!!
