Fits Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG C218 (2011-2018)

Brake pad compound

Street: quiet, low-dust, strong cold bite for road driving. Sport: higher temperature range and more bite for fast road and occasional track. Racing: maximum fade resistance for sustained track use (noisier and dustier cold). Match the pad to how hard you actually brake.

Disc size

Caliper grade

Hollow is the standard caliper: a lighter hollow-body forged caliper with a dust cover and a 5-year warranty. Hollow Racing drops the dust cover for sustained high-temperature use (rated to 1000°C, 2-year warranty) — the track-grade choice.

Caliper colour

Painted colours are included. Polished-forged finishes are mirror-polished forged calipers (Titanium, Gold, Silver); candy colours are a deep, mirror-reflection paint. Both are premium upgrades — fuller detail further down the page.

Disc style

Drilled discs (cross-drilled holes) vent gas and water and look aggressive; slotted discs (surface grooves) wipe the pad face clean and resist fade under sustained hard use. Same price — choose on looks or how you drive.

Centre bell

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. Standard anodized is included; a two-tone bell adds an anodized accent ring in your choice of colour; titanium is the lightest, forged option.

Carbon-ceramic rotor

Carbon-ceramic rotors are a special-order track upgrade: far lighter than steel, fade-resistant at extreme temperatures and extremely long-lived. The price follows the disc size you choose above. The standard two-piece steel rotor is included.

380 mm

At close to 1,900kg and with over 520bhp from the biturbo V8, the CLS 63 AMG C218 asks a great deal of its braking hardware whenever the throttle has been properly used. The factory AMG system handles ordinary fast-road driving without complaint, it was designed to, but under sustained use, whether a long autobahn run followed by repeated hard deceleration or a track-day session where the car’s mass demands genuine brake discipline, fade registers in the pedal.

The XYZ Racing front brake kit addresses the front axle specifically, where thermal and mechanical load concentrates first on a nose-heavy GT. Built to cover the full C218 production run from 2011 to 2018, it is a pair of larger calipers and discs with three pad compounds, Street, Sport and Racing, and a full range of caliper finishes. You set the specification when you order from the options above.

What this brake kit does for your 2011-2018 Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG C218

The CLS 63 AMG’s front axle carries a disproportionate share of the braking load given where the engine sits and how much mass it brings to the nose. Upgrading the front assembly with hardware that manages heat more effectively keeps pedal feel consistent across repeated stops rather than softening as temperatures climb. The hollow-vane disc vents air through the rotor body to do that work, and the lighter two-piece floating disc trims rotating and unsprung mass at the front corners.

Three pad compounds, Street for quiet, low-dust everyday use, Sport for spirited fast-road driving, and Racing for circuit sessions, mean the same kit can serve a car that sees the odd track day alongside daily driving and one that runs a full season of events. Discs are available drilled or slotted at the same price.

About the XYZ Racing Front Brake Kit

This front big brake kit was developed for applications where factory braking hardware reaches its limits under sustained performance use. The caliper and two-piece floating disc are positioned to absorb the high energy loads a car of the CLS 63 AMG’s mass generates at speed, loads the standard setup handles comfortably once but struggles to repeat when back-to-back braking keeps temperatures elevated. The caliper is hollow-body forged as standard, fed by braided lines for a firm pedal.

Three pad tiers, Street, Sport and Racing, cover the spectrum from a grand tourer doubling as a daily driver to one running regular timed sessions, with friction characteristics that differ meaningfully between tiers. Included caliper colours are Red, Yellow, Gold, Black and Anodized Black at no extra cost, with Custom Color matching any Pantone for 150 pounds. Premium polished-forged finishes cover Titanium, Polished Gold and Polished Silver, and the candy range adds Candy Teal, Candy Blue, Candy Red and Candy Orange. Centre bells can be two-tone in five anodized colours or titanium, and the optional Hollow Racing caliper, rated to 1000C with no dust cover and a two-year warranty, suits serious track use.

Fitment for the Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG C218 (2011-2018)

This front kit is matched to the Mercedes Benz CLS 63 AMG across the complete C218 production run, from 2011 through 2018. The listing covers the CLS 63 AMG C218 body style. Confirm wheel clearance against your fitted rim and tyre specification before selecting a configuration, as caliper sizing clearances vary with AMG Performance package wheel choices across the model-year range.

Choosing your spec

Every kit is built to order around the choices you make above. Here is what each option actually changes, so you can spec yours with confidence.

Brake pads — Street, Sport or Racing

Every kit ships with a full set of high-performance pads; the compound is your call.

Street is the right default for fast-road driving — a strong, progressive cold bite with low noise, low dust and long disc life. Sport raises the working temperature and adds bite and fade resistance for hard road use and the occasional track day, while still behaving on a cold morning. Racing is a track compound built for sustained abuse: huge fade resistance and bite once heat is in it, at the cost of more noise and dust when cold. Match the pad to how hard you actually use the brakes — there is no benefit to a race pad that never gets up to temperature.

Caliper grade — Hollow vs Hollow Racing

Hollow is the standard caliper on every kit: a hollow-body forged caliper, lighter than a solid one, fitted with a dust cover and backed by a 5-year oil-leak warranty. For most fast-road and spirited track use it is all the caliper you need.

Hollow Racing is the track-grade upgrade. It runs the same hollow body but without a dust cover (so there is nothing to melt at sustained high temperature), uses a twin-metal piston that isolates heat travelling from the disc to the oil seal, and is rated to 1000°C. Available 286–380mm (front). Warranty is 2 years on oil leaks and 10 years on appearance. Built for professional racing and repeated track days.

Caliper colour & finish

Painted colours (Red, Yellow, Gold, Black, Anodized Black) are included at no cost. Want an exact match to your car? Custom Color (+£150) paints the calipers to any Pantone code you supply (15–20 day lead time).

Polished Forged finishes are the flagship: a forged caliper given a mirror-polished surface treatment that shifts colour with the viewing angle. Beyond the looks, the polished surface dissipates heat better, resists rust and stands up to the weather. Choose Titanium (neochrome, +£350), Polished Gold (+£300) or Polished Silver (+£250). They look their best paired with a titanium centre bell. Care: clean only with a dilute neutral cleaner or water.

Candy colours (+£200) use a deep candy-paint and polishing process for a mirror-reflection, boutique finish — pick Teal, Blue, Red or Orange (shown below right).

Centre bells

The centre bell is the CNC-machined aluminium hat that joins the disc to the hub. The standard anodized centre bell is included. The Two-tone bell (+£200) adds an anodized accent ring — choose Red, Yellow, Orange, Purple or Silver right here at checkout. The Titanium centre bell (+£500) is a forged titanium bell (bolts not included) that finishes off the polished-forged look.
