2020-2026+ Mercedes-Benz GLE350 / GLE450 / GLE580 / GLE53 / GLE63 S (V167/C167) CCB Big Brake Kit — Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper Front + Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper Rear Setup
The 2020-2026+ Mercedes-Benz GLE V167/C167 is heavy enough that repeated high-speed stops, mountain use, and aggressive street driving can expose iron-rotor heat load, dust, and steering-weight penalties. This StopFlex kit replaces the factory brake package with 420mm front carbon-ceramic rotors and a Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper, paired with 410mm rear carbon-ceramic rotors and a Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper. Each kit is built around the buyer’s confirmed GLE350, GLE450, GLE580, GLE53, or GLE63 S configuration so rotor hats, brackets, lines, and caliper position match that exact trim and wheel package.
- 420mm front carbon-ceramic rotors require 21 inch or larger wheels on the GLE V167/C167; wheels below 21 inches will not clear the rotor, and spoke clearance must still be checked.
- Front braking is handled by the Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper, giving the GLE a larger multi-piston front clamp package for heat management and pedal consistency.
- The rear uses 410mm carbon-ceramic rotors with a Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper so rear torque contribution is engineered with the front upgrade instead of left as a factory mismatch.

Every StopFlex kit is bespoke-engineered for your exact model and trim — the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are matched to your specific car, not assumed from the platform. This matters because trims that share a chassis name can differ mechanically: a pure M or performance variant often carries different front knuckles/uprights, hub geometry, and wheel axial (ET) clearance than the standard models in the same family, so a bracket and hat offset that bolt onto one are not the same parts that fit the other. StopFlex supplies the calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as a matched system built to your confirmed trim. Cars with modified knuckles, modified uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points must be reviewed before ordering and are not treated as direct-fit.
This setup uses a 420 mm front rotor, so the minimum wheel size is 21". Wheels under 21" will not clear the caliper and rotor, and spoke profile and offset affect clearance too — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Caliper Overview — Front & Rear Balance
Front Caliper (Primary Upgrade)
The front axle uses the Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper, a multi-piston fixed caliper selected to spread pad pressure across the larger 420mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Its OEM Porsche provenance matters because the caliper is an OEM-derived performance part, not a generic cast replacement. StopFlex mounts it with trim-specific brackets, hat offsets, and lines matched to the confirmed GLE350, GLE450, GLE580, GLE53, or GLE63 S configuration.
Rear Caliper (Balance)
The rear axle uses the Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper with a 410mm carbon-ceramic rotor to keep rear brake torque and stability aligned with the larger front package. EPB compatibility must be handled in the rear-engineering stage because the GLE V167/C167 uses an electronic parking brake from the factory.
Front & rear, engineered together: This kit is engineered as a front-and-rear system so the 420mm front rotor and 410mm rear rotor work as a matched brake package. On a GLE that may be a standard trim or AMG variant, matching caliper position, piston capacity, rotor effective radius, and rear parking-brake function is safer than adding a front-only big brake kit and leaving rear balance unresolved.
Make It Yours — Color & Logo Customization
Every StopFlex kit-upgrade order can be finished with custom caliper colors, a custom caliper logo, and custom rotor hat colors, so the brake package matches your exact build instead of a fixed off-the-shelf look.

Why StopFlex CCB
Lower Unsprung Mass
StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotors are engineered to reduce rotor mass versus comparable iron discs, helping the suspension react cleaner and the steering feel more precise.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide matrix is built for stable braking behavior at temperatures that can push iron rotors into heavy fade.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Carbon ceramic does not form orange flash rust after rain, washing, or storage, keeping the visible rotor face cleaner behind open wheels.
Long Street-Service Potential
In normal road use with matched pads and proper bedding, StopFlex CCB rotors are designed for far longer service life than typical iron replacement rotors.
Low Visible Dust
When paired with matched StopFlex pads, the system produces very low visible brake dust compared with conventional iron rotor and pad combinations.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Appearance
StopFlex's proprietary coating creates a bright, high-end ceramic-glaze finish with subtle glaze texture and a more premium visual character behind open wheels.
Street-Usable Cold Bite
Street Spec and Track-Day Spec rotors are designed for normal first-stop road use, including cold-weather operation. Motorsport Spec is the competition-focused exception.
Continuous Fiber Reinforcement
Long-fiber carbon ceramic construction improves structural strength and thermal durability versus chopped-fiber approaches.
Heat Management Note
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat can still soak into pads, fluid, seals, calipers, wheels, and nearby components. For long track sessions, mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving, brake cooling and high-temperature fluid are still recommended.
Street / Track-Day / Motorsport Rotor Options
Street Spec
Ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, and large cooling channels.
Best for daily driving and premium street builds that need clean cold bite, low dust, corrosion-free appearance, and long service life.
Track-Day Spec
Ceramic coating, blank face, and honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for fast-road and track-day use where repeated braking stability matters more than maximum visual drilling style.
Motorsport Spec
Uncoated blank face with honeycomb cooling channels.
Best for race-focused builds that run competition pads, high-temperature fluid, cooling strategy, and a proper warm-up window. Not the default street choice.

EPB & Rear Caliper Options
This vehicle leaves the factory with an electronic parking brake (EPB) built into the rear brake, so the rear of the kit is built to keep that EPB working. There are two rear paths. The first is a dual-caliper rear: a main performance caliper handles braking while a dedicated EPB actuator caliper is retained alongside it, so the electronic parking brake, auto-hold, and hill-start assist all keep working; on this path the rear performance caliper can be the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper. The second is an EPB-integrated caliper, a single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel; on this path the rear is the TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-piston caliper with integrated EPB. Which path fits best depends on your exact trim and EPB configuration, your budget, your appearance preference, and your wheel size and spoke clearance. Confirm your car's rear-brake configuration with StopFlex before ordering so the correct EPB-compatible rear option is built for your kit.
| Rear option | What it is | Rear caliper | Best when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Dual caliper (EPB retained) | Performance caliper plus a dedicated EPB actuator caliper, both fitted on the rear, so the factory electronic parking brake keeps working. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper | You want guaranteed factory EPB, auto-hold, and hill-start behavior preserved. |
| EPB-integrated caliper | A single rear caliper with the electromechanical parking-brake motor built in, for a cleaner install with fewer parts behind the wheel. | TTSPORT EP4 / EP4S 4-Piston Caliper with integrated EPB | You want a cleaner single-caliper rear with full EPB function. |
FAQ
Will this kit fit my exact GLE350, GLE450, GLE580, GLE53, or GLE63 S?
Fitment is not treated as a platform-wide bolt-on. StopFlex confirms the exact V167/C167 trim, body style, factory brake package, wheel size, wheel offset, and spoke profile before engineering the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, caliper mounting, lines, and hardware.
What wheel size do I need for the 420mm front rotor?
The 420mm front rotor requires 21 inch or larger wheels. Wheels under 21 inches will not clear the rotor, and 21 inch or larger wheels still need spoke-clearance verification for the Genuine Akebono OEM Porsche 10-Piston (10N) Caliper.
Will the electronic parking brake still work?
The GLE V167/C167 uses a factory electronic parking brake, so rear fitment is engineered with EPB retention as a requirement. StopFlex confirms the rear brake and EPB configuration before finalizing the 410mm rear carbon-ceramic rotor and Genuine Brembo OEM Porsche 19Z 4-Piston Caliper setup.
Why choose carbon-ceramic brakes on a Mercedes-Benz GLE instead of replacing iron rotors?
Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce brake dust and unsprung mass compared with iron rotor assemblies and tolerate repeated heat cycles better in aggressive use. On a heavy GLE, the practical reasons are cleaner wheels, more stable pedal behavior during repeated stops, and less rotating mass at each corner.
