Default Re: Yet Another AMG Brake Upgrade How-To

Just thought I'd update this thread... It's been three months and this upgrade is still insanely impressive. Stopping power (mixed with better tires, Michelin Pilot SS) is phenomenal!

I have noticed however that during most driving, the insulating properties of the larger hardware keeps the temperatures below what I favor as optimal. True bite force doesn't become realized until a good high speed run is scrubbed off; it's then that you know what you're working with. I would like to have some cooling ducts fabricated for the front rotors though. Once they absorb lots of heat, they seem to take longer than I'd prefer to cool down. --But realistically, these are all tiny gripes, as 95% of the goal is present.

Anyway, hope this thread was helpful to folks out there who are curious or looking to pull the trigger on this or similar upgrades!
