Brake discs Brembo or Textar
Gx 460 calipers, Brembo rotors and akebono pads over here. Don’t bother with drilled rotors or anything unless you like the look.
I changed to Brembo drilled rotors and Pagid pads and the problem has gone away completely on both cars, now at 20K miles since the change.
Brembo UV coated so the exposed parts don’t rust up and EBC Reds ceramic pads. Great combo.
I put on brembo rotors and EBC yellow stuff. I followed the break in procedure and have had no issues. Stops great even from 130+
If you’re going to replace the front rotors, I recommend going with some coated rotors, like Brembo 09.C306.11, to prevent rusted rotors where the brake pads don’t make contact.
Brembo are OEM on most AMGs from the 63/45 lineups. The Brembo front rotors for the CLA45 aren’t terribly expensive ($400) compared to the bigger brakes on the 63s.
Within the last 500-1000 miles, she has received Textar Rotors and EBC Brake Pads.
I put Brembo rotors and pads on my mk5. I like them. The coated rotors are great. No more rust on the non-friction surfaces.
on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.
Looks sharp, but remember slotted and drilled rotors are really pretty worthless in most cases until you get to really aggressive track only brake pads at extremely fast advanced level pace (or race pace).
