changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.
I have a 2016 ST3, 114k miles, OEM brakes at 6mm or so, I mostly do highway.
I literally just did the rear rotors/pads and front pads for my amg GTS last week. I found that MBpartscenter.com had the best price that are OEM. Only 1k per rotor (compared to the dealer who wanted 1700 each). I also got porterfield R4S pads from pelican parts. They are considered streetable/track pads. I didn’t change the front rotors yet, but if I were to I would get them from FCP euro at $500 each rotor. My mechanic charged me $500 for install and a brake fluid flush
Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.
I consider my W204 C63 visceral, even if not analog. The 6.2 V8 makes all kinds of nasty noises you would not expect from a Mercedes and it howls all the way up to 7200rpm, which may not be that high, but still impresses me given the size of the engine. The car is quick, noisy and has the brakes to back it up.
The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.
Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.
The more I drive it the more and more the brakes squeak horribly. The brakes look fine and it stops on a dime, but man the squeaking is so loud and embarrassing. The car is just so new at only 5,000 miles to already have issues really disappointed me. Especially on how expensive they are and already has issues.
Just changed brake pads on the S65. Discovered an oil leak, likely from a turbo line.
I can't believe the brakes used here, this is after all the 'Sport' model out of the Taurus lineup so therefor it should have received a better braking setup.
