Are the C63 brakes really that bad? |
No, the C63 AMG brakes are phenomenal.
In fact, the C63 brakes (std., non-perf. package) brakes are far superior to the BMW 335i brakes. Again, I would challenge anyone to drive a stock or tuned BMW 335i from 0-100mph, then 100mph-0, and then drive 70mph on a hwy. on/off ramp. Then, do the same thing in a MB C63 and tell me which one brakes better, shows more confidence, handles better, and just plain feels safer. If you tell me the BMW 335i, you're lying.
Just compare the BMW 335i front brake rotors to the
huge, drilled C63 AMG front brake rotors...
