Will This Fit My Car?
Full Upgrade CCB Big Brake Kits (With Calipers) for the 2000-2006 Mercedes-Benz S-Class / AMG (W220). This page's exact brake setup:
| Model Years | Front Setup | Rear Setup | Min. Wheel Size |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2000-2006 | Alcon RC6 6-Piston Caliper / 380mm | Alcon RC4 4-Piston Caliper / 380mm | 19" |
This kit is built per car, not per platform. We engineer the brackets, rotor-hat offsets, and caliper mounting to your confirmed model and trim, because trims sharing a chassis name frequently differ underneath — performance variants can run different knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel ET clearance than their standard siblings. You receive calipers, pads, rotor hats, floating hardware, and brake lines as one matched, trim-specific system. Cars with modified knuckles, uprights, or non-factory suspension mounting points need 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
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.
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.
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.
Caliper Overview
Front Caliper
The front runs an Alcon RC6 6-piston caliper over the 380mm carbon-ceramic rotor. Six pistons spread clamping load evenly across a long pad, so the W220's heavy nose gets consistent bite and a firm pedal even on repeated hard stops from highway speed.
Rear Caliper
The rear uses an Alcon RC4 4-piston caliper on a matched 380mm carbon-ceramic disc, adding rear thermal capacity so the front axle isn't doing all the work when you brake a two-ton S-Class down hard.
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
Carbon ceramic rotors tolerate extreme surface temperature, but they do not remove every heat-management requirement. During repeated hard stops, heat still soaks 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.
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
How do these carbon-ceramic brakes behave in winter?
Physics first: any cold carbon-ceramic disc bites a little less than cold iron on the first stops, which is normal, not a defect. StopFlex tunes both the pad compound and the disc's ceramic coating for cold starts, so cold-car feel on the W220 now comes very close to summer feel. On the coldest first stops of the day, leave a little extra following distance until the front 380mm rotors are warmed.
Will this fit my exact W220 trim, like an S55 or S65 AMG?
Each kit is engineered for your confirmed trim. The AMG variants use different front knuckles, hub geometry, and wheel clearance than an S430 or S500, so we cut the brackets and set the rotor-hat offsets specifically for your car. We do not sell a single platform-wide bolt-on and assume it fits every W220.
What wheels do I need to clear these brakes?
The front and rear rotors are 380mm, so you need 19-inch wheels or larger. Anything under 19 inches will not clear the disc, and spoke shape matters too, so send your wheel details when we confirm fitment.
Is this a real stopping improvement over an OE parts swap?
Yes. You move from a factory single- or twin-piston setup to an Alcon RC6 6-piston front and RC4 4-piston rear on 380mm carbon-ceramic rotors. On a heavy V8 or V12 W220 the gains are shorter, more repeatable stops with far less fade, plus a large drop in unsprung and rotating weight versus large iron discs.
