Will This Fit My Car?
Full Upgrade CCB Big Brake Kits (With Calipers) for the 2006-2013 Mercedes-Benz R-Class / AMG (W251). This page's exact brake setup:
| Model Years | Front Setup | Rear Setup | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2006-2013 | AP Racing CP9560 Radi-CAL II 6-Piston Caliper / 380mm | AP Racing CP9541 Radi-CAL II 4-Piston Caliper / 380mm | 19" |
Fitment here is bespoke: brackets, hat offsets, and caliper mounting are engineered for your exact model and trim rather than copied across the platform. Two trims with the same chassis code can still differ in knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance — which is why we confirm your trim first, then build the matched system of calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and lines for it. Modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension points require review before ordering.
The 380 mm rotor sets the minimum wheel size at 19" — smaller wheels will not clear the caliper and rotor. Spoke profile and offset also affect clearance; confirm your exact wheels before ordering.
| Wheel Size (Standard) | Disc Range |
|---|---|
| 15" | 260 mm – 285 mm |
| 16" | 285 mm – 300 mm |
| 17" | 300 mm – 330 mm |
| 18" | 330 mm – 355 mm |
| 19" | 355 mm – 380 mm |
| 20" | 380 mm – 400 mm |
| 21" | 400 mm – 420 mm |
| 22" | 420 mm – 440 mm |

Why Carbon Ceramic — and Why StopFlex
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 like-size carbon-ceramic rotor can be materially lighter than an iron disc; the exact saving depends on rotor dimensions. Lower rotating, unsprung mass can reduce the load the suspension has to control.
High-Temperature Stability
The carbon-silicon-carbide friction material is selected for high-temperature stability and fade resistance. Overall pedal feel still depends on pad condition, fluid, caliper stiffness, cooling and operating temperature.
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.
Long Street-Service Life
In normal road use with matched pads and correct bedding, carbon-ceramic friction surfaces are designed for low wear. Actual service life depends on mileage, contamination, pad choice, heat cycles and driving use.
Low Visible Dust
Matched StopFlex pads are selected for low visible dust on the ceramic friction surface. Actual wheel dust still varies with pad choice, traffic, temperature, bedding and driving intensity.
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.
Short-Fiber or Long-Fiber — Your Call
Every StopFlex disc is true carbon-ceramic. Short-Fiber Street Spec uses a simpler chopped-fiber process for a lower price and street-only duty; the Long-Fiber line uses continuous carbon strands that carry load across the whole rotor for higher strength and thermal durability — the pick for track and race heat.
Winter & Cold-Weather Braking
Cold-weather trade-off: an untuned carbon-ceramic disc can have less initial bite than cold iron. StopFlex specifies a matched pad compound and ceramic coating tuned to reduce that cold-start gap, but the coldest first stops still deserve extra following distance. Severe-winter daily drivers should choose a Street Spec.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front upgrade uses the AP Racing CP9560 Radi-CAL II 6-Piston Caliper with a supplied 380mm rotor. Front mounting is specified only after exact R-Class / AMG trim confirmation.
Rear Caliper
The rear upgrade uses the AP Racing CP9541 Radi-CAL II 4-Piston Caliper with a supplied 380mm rotor. This is a full front-and-rear kit, not a front-only conversion.
Choose Your Rotor: Short-Fiber Street to Long-Fiber Motorsport
Left to right is ascending duty. Short-Fiber Street Spec keeps carbon-ceramic benefits at a lower price for street use only; the Long-Fiber Street, Track-Day, and Motorsport specs add continuous-fiber strength and thermal durability for everything from daily premium builds to race weekends.
Short-Fiber Street Spec
Chopped short-fiber carbon-ceramic body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face.
Choose this for street-only use when purchase price matters most. It keeps the carbon-ceramic friction surface and coated finish, but it is not specified for track sessions.
Long-Fiber Street Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, cross-drilled face, large cooling channels.
Choose this for daily and fast-road use when you want the long-fiber construction without moving to a track-focused face and cooling specification.
Long-Fiber Track-Day Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, ceramic coating, blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for repeated fast-road or track-day braking where thermal duty matters more than the drilled street appearance. High-temperature fluid and appropriate cooling still matter.
Long-Fiber Motorsport Spec
Continuous long-fiber body, uncoated blank face, honeycomb cooling channels.
Choose this for competition-focused use with the corresponding pad, fluid, cooling and warm-up strategy. It is not the default recommendation for a street-driven car.
Heat Management Note
Ceramic discs shrug off surface temperatures that would destroy iron, but the rest of the system still heats up: pads, fluid, seals, calipers, and wheels all absorb soak heat during repeated hard stops. For track days, long descents, and sustained hard driving, run brake cooling and high-temperature fluid.

FAQ
Does this kit fit every 2006-2013 Mercedes-Benz R-Class / AMG (W251)?
It is listed for the 2006-2013 Mercedes-Benz R-Class / AMG (W251), but each order requires exact model and trim confirmation. Brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting are specified for the confirmed vehicle; they are not assumed to transfer between trims simply because they share the W251 chassis.
Is this a complete front-and-rear brake conversion?
Yes. The kit upgrades both axles: AP Racing CP9560 Radi-CAL II 6-Piston Calipers with 380mm front rotors, plus AP Racing CP9541 Radi-CAL II 4-Piston Calipers with 380mm rear rotors. It includes the supplied calipers, StopFlex CCB rotors, matched pads, hats, floating hardware, and brake lines.
What wheels are required for the 380mm setup?
The 380mm configuration has a 19-inch minimum wheel requirement. Diameter alone is not enough: spoke profile and wheel offset still need physical clearance confirmation around the AP Racing calipers. Provide wheel details during fitment confirmation before ordering.
What should I expect in winter or on cold first stops?
An untuned cold carbon-ceramic disc can have less initial bite than cold iron. StopFlex specifies a matched pad compound and disc coating to reduce that cold-start gap, but the coldest first stops still deserve extra margin. Select the rotor specification around actual street or higher-duty use, not only the lowest initial cost.
