2020-2026+ Mercedes-Benz GLS450 / GLS580 / GLS63 (X167) CCB Big Brake Kit — Genuine OEM AMG 6-Piston Caliper Front + Genuine OEM AMG EPB Single-Piston Caliper Rear Setup
The X167 GLS is a heavy three-row SUV, so repeated braking loads expose the limits of iron rotors through heat, dust, and pedal consistency. This StopFlex kit upgrades the front to a 400mm carbon-ceramic rotor with a Genuine OEM AMG 6-Piston Caliper and matches it to a 370mm rear carbon-ceramic rotor with a Genuine OEM AMG EPB Single-Piston Caliper. The result is higher thermal capacity, reduced unsprung mass, lower brake dust, and a brake package engineered around the exact GLS450, GLS580, or GLS63 configuration being built.
- 400mm front carbon-ceramic rotors require 20-inch or larger wheels; spoke clearance must still be checked against the Genuine OEM AMG 6-Piston Caliper.
- Rear hardware uses a 370mm carbon-ceramic rotor with a Genuine OEM AMG EPB Single-Piston Caliper to retain the X167 GLS electronic parking brake function.
- GLS450, GLS580, and GLS63 share the X167 name but can differ in uprights, hub geometry, and wheel offset, so StopFlex builds brackets and rotor hats for the confirmed trim rather than assuming platform-wide fitment.

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 400 mm front rotor, so the minimum wheel size is 20". Wheels under 20" 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 exact Genuine OEM AMG 6-Piston Caliper, giving the 400mm rotor a broad, stable clamping footprint for repeatable pedal response under the mass of the GLS. Because this is an OEM AMG-derived caliper rather than a generic aftermarket casting, its architecture is suited to a high-output Mercedes application and pairs cleanly with StopFlex carbon-ceramic rotor hardware. Final mounting and offset geometry are engineered to the buyer’s confirmed GLS450, GLS580, or GLS63 configuration.
Rear Caliper (Balance)
The rear axle uses a Genuine OEM AMG EPB Single-Piston Caliper on a 370mm carbon-ceramic rotor to support rear brake balance and straight-line stability. It is specified to retain the factory electronic parking brake functions used on the X167 GLS.
Front & rear, engineered together: The 400mm front and 370mm rear carbon-ceramic package is engineered as a system so front torque, rear contribution, pedal feel, and EPB operation stay matched. A front-only conversion can leave rear thermal capacity, pad behavior, and visual balance behind; this kit aligns both axles for the specific GLS trim being built.
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 GLS450, GLS580, or GLS63?
Fitment is confirmed per vehicle, not by the X167 chassis name alone. StopFlex verifies the exact year, trim, hub/upright geometry, wheel size, wheel offset, and spoke clearance before machining the brackets and rotor-hat offsets.
What wheel size is required for the 400mm front rotor?
The 400mm front carbon-ceramic rotor requires 20-inch or larger wheels. Wheel diameter is only the first check; the Genuine OEM AMG 6-Piston Caliper also needs enough inner-barrel and spoke clearance.
Will the electronic parking brake still work?
Yes. This kit uses a Genuine OEM AMG EPB Single-Piston Caliper at the rear with a 370mm carbon-ceramic rotor so the X167 GLS electronic parking brake function is retained when the kit is specified correctly.
Why switch an X167 GLS to carbon-ceramic brakes?
Carbon-ceramic rotors reduce rotating and unsprung mass, produce far less visible dust than iron rotors, and handle repeated heat cycles with more stable pedal feel. On a GLS450, GLS580, or GLS63, those gains matter because vehicle mass and wheel size make brake heat and dust noticeable in daily and high-speed use.
