We tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating specifically for cold pickup, so on the W177\/V177 the cold-car feel now comes very close to warm feel after the first stop or two.

The result is cold-car feel very close to summer feel.

We addressed it two ways — the low-metallic resin-composite pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating are both tuned for cold starts, so on this W220 the first-stop feel from a cold garage is now very close to warm-summer feel.

On this kit we've matched both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so winter cold-car feel now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stops it's still smart to leave a little extra following distance until the front 390mm and rear 380mm rotors come up to temperature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWill this kit actually fit my exact C-Class, or is it a generic W205 fit?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's built for your confirmed trim, not the platform. A C300 and a C63S share the W205 name but differ in front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel clearance, so we cut the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting to match the car you own. We don't make a universal bolt-on claim — you send your trim and we engineer to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eWhat wheels do I need to clear these rotors?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe front rotor is 390mm, so 20-inch wheels are the minimum. Anything under 20 inches will not clear the disc and caliper. Spoke shape matters too, not just diameter, so send us your wheel details and we'll confirm clearance before you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\u003cdetails\u003e\u003csummary\u003eDoes this work with the electronic parking brake on my C-Class?\u003c\/summary\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"a\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The W205 range uses a factory electric parking brake, and the OEM AMG 4-Piston rear caliper in this kit is configured to retain that function, so your dash EPB button and auto-hold keep working normally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"StopFlex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48333590757635,"sku":"100460","price":5000.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/8933\/5811\/files\/Product_mercedes-benz-c180-c200-c300-c400-c450-c43-c63-c63-s-w205-s205-c205-a205-amg-390mm-ccb-kit.jpg?v=1784617631"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0761\/8933\/5811\/collections\/Collection_Mercedes-Benz_carbon_ceramic_brakes_kit.jpg?v=1780895744","url":"https:\/\/stopflex-ccb.com\/collections\/mercedes-benz-carbon-ceramic-brakes.oembed?page=5","provider":"StopFlex","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
