Will This Fit My Car?
Direct Replacement CCB Discs (Retain Factory Calipers) for the 2007-2011 Mercedes-AMG ML63 (W164). Factory rotor specifications and the smallest wheel that clears each trim:
| Trim | Front Rotor (Factory) | Rear Rotor (Factory) | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| ML63 | 390mm | 365mm | 20" |
Keep Your Factory Calipers?
Yes — if your front factory calipers are fixed 4-piston or more. The rear axle has no restriction. Cars with 1- or 2-piston floating front calipers should use the Full Upgrade kit (calipers + discs) instead. Discs are built to the factory rotor specs shown above; if you run aftermarket calipers (Brembo, AP Racing, Alcon, Wilwood), we simply confirm the caliper model, pad shape, and rotor dimensions before production.
Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance — confirm your exact wheels before ordering.

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, one StopFlex CCB rotor set is engineered to outlast several sets of iron replacement rotors, recovering part of the up-front cost.
Low Visible Dust
Matched with StopFlex pads, the system sheds a fraction of the dust an iron rotor and pad combination throws. Wheels stay clean for weeks of driving instead of days.
Premium Ceramic-Glaze Finish
StopFlex's proprietary coating gives the disc a bright ceramic-glaze surface with subtle texture — the factory carbon-ceramic look, clearly visible through open wheel designs.
Continuous Fiber Construction
StopFlex discs are built with long continuous carbon fiber instead of chopped short fiber. Continuous strands carry load across the whole rotor body, raising strength and thermal durability under heat cycles.
Bespoke Per-Vehicle Engineering
Every order is machined to the confirmed vehicle and trim. Brackets, hat offsets, and pad shapes are built for that exact car — never pulled from a one-size-fits-all catalog.
CCB-Specific Pad Compound
A low-metallic resin pad compound reinforced with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, made for ceramic discs: stable to about 750 °C, roughly 0.44 average friction, strong fade resistance, low rotor wear.
Lower Unsprung Mass
A carbon-ceramic rotor weighs roughly half of the equivalent iron disc. Less rotating, unsprung mass lets the suspension follow broken pavement more cleanly and makes steering response noticeably sharper.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction matrix keeps working at temperatures that push iron rotors into heavy fade, so the tenth hard stop feels like the first — same pedal travel, same bite point.
Rust-Free Rotor Surface
Ceramic discs cannot flash-rust. After rain, a wash, or weeks of parking, the rotor face behind your open-spoke wheels stays clean — no orange ring on a freshly detailed car.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Cold facts first: an untuned ceramic disc bites less than iron on a freezing morning — physics, not a defect. StopFlex tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so winter cold-car braking now feels very close to summer. Leave extra margin on the very coldest first stops; severe-climate daily drivers should build Street Spec.
Choose Your Rotor: Street, Track-Day, or Motorsport
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.
Heat Management Note
High rotor temperature tolerance does not mean heat management disappears. Under repeated hard braking, heat migrates into the pads, brake fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels even when the ceramic disc itself is comfortable. Plan brake cooling and high-temperature fluid for extended track sessions, long mountain descents, or sustained aggressive driving.
Get Your Fitment Confirmed
Before ordering, tell us the exact vehicle, current rotor sizes, and caliper type. Nothing goes to production until the build is confirmed against your VIN-level configuration.
FAQ
Will this fit my ML63 without changing my calipers?
Yes. This kit reuses your factory W164 ML63 calipers, which are fixed 6-piston fronts — well above the 4-piston minimum required for a direct carbon-ceramic swap. It replaces the 390mm front and 365mm rear rotors with matched carbon-ceramic discs, aluminum hats, and floating hardware. It fits the ML63 trim only, at those exact rotor sizes; other W164 models with smaller rotors and single-piston sliders are not covered.
How do these brakes behave in winter or on a cold first stop?
Any carbon-ceramic disc bites a little less than cold iron on the first stops — that's normal physics, not a defect, because the ceramic surface needs a small amount of heat to reach full friction. We tuned both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so on your ML63 the first-pull feel in winter now comes very close to summer feel. Even so, leave a little extra following distance on the coldest first stops until the front 390mm discs warm through.
Is this really cheaper than a factory CCB rotor replacement?
That's the point. A dealer carbon-ceramic brake job on the W164 ML63 typically runs around $10,000 because you're buying full factory rotor assemblies. This kit gives you carbon-ceramic rotors, pads, hats, and floating hardware while keeping your existing calipers, so you stay on CCB without the OEM parts bill or the weight penalty of dropping to iron.
What wheels and pads does this use?
The front discs are 390mm and the rears are 365mm, so you need wheels that clear the factory ML63 CCB envelope — most owners already run this because the car shipped on large rotors. The pads are a carbon-ceramic-specific low-metallic resin composite with steel, copper, and aramid fiber, averaging about 0.44 coefficient of friction with heat resistance to roughly 750 °C and strong anti-fade behavior. That handles this 5,000-plus-pound SUV under repeated hard stops.
