Mercedes-Benz AMG® Brakes: Engineered for Top Performance

You won’t find AMG® brake components in every auto center or parts shop. Designed by racers for track-ready performance, the Mercedes-Benz AMG® brakes stand out with three different braking system options:

  • AMG® High-Performance Braking System- Stands out with perforated rotors and rear rotors with silver-painted fixed calipers
  • AMG® High-Performance Composite Braking System- Sports composite rotors in the front and rear are ventilated, slotted, and perforated for better cooling and fade resistance
  • AMG® High-Performance Compound Braking System- Includes two-piece rotors that are made of carbon and ceramic compound which are lighter and require less pedal pressure for activation

AMG® brakes put the finishing touch on Mercedes-AMG® vehicles’ powertrains, which include features like handcrafted turbo engines, AMG® suspensions, AMG® exhausts, and more.

Mercedes-Benz AMG® Brakes vs. Standard Brakes

So, how do Mercedes-Benz AMG® brakes differ from standard brakes in terms of performance? If you’re on the road in Union City, you’ll find that AMG® brakes:

  • Minimize the fading due to heat; this allows for rapid deceleration. 
  • Require less frequent rotor replacements
  • Require less pedal pressure
  • Your brakes will be 40% lighter than standard brakes if your vehicle includes the AMG® High-Performance Ceramic Composite Braking System

Why Buy OEM Parts?

Your Mercedes-AMG® vehicle is built to perform, and you likely want to maintain its capabilities for years to come. Using OEM parts, such as AMG® brake calipers, lines, and discs, you’ll keep your vehicle road-ready without sacrificing its optimal performance. What’s more, using genuine OEM parts:

  • Provide better performance
  • Come backed by warranty coverage
  • Are designed specifically for your high-performing vehicle
