AMG BBK Discussion

[Merceman]

Nice set up. Btw does this BBK produce any noise when braking?

some feedback yes

[funman]

So far any bros here fitted the original C63 AMG BBK? Last heard the disc are single instead of double disc due to durability.

Mine does squeak occasionally, but that's perfectly normal for most BBKs. After sometime, I got used to it & now it puts a smile on my face whenever I hear it.

Thanks for the sharing. :-)

BTW are you guys using MB brake pad with your AMG kit?

you meant AMG brake pads?

 

I had tried other OEM brake pads on AMG BBK....the result is less satisfied....especially the feel and the stopping seems more abrupt on a non AMG brakepads.

Bro

 

What I mean is the MB OEM brake pad for the AMG BBK. Which mean there is brake pad sensor connected to it.

the Brake Pad sensor is an independent item regardless which brake pads you use.

When you purchase the AMG BKK, it comes with the brake pads. The sensor doesnt cost much to replace. like $5 if i am not wrong.

Ok tks :-)

Is this the single rotor AMG BBK? Is it possible to only install the front only?

[funman]

Yes, is always possible just install front BBK only. But is better to have full set up,in order to prevent front dipping during braking.

[Tykl]

Only prob for cars with electronic handbrakes is that one would really have to think twice because installing aftermarket BBK for the rear side will render handbrakes no longer useable. Don't think would be good on gearbox as parking brakes...

How did u come to this finding?

[Tykl]

Was enquiring on bbk for my a250 w176 which came stock using elec handbrakes and this is what I was told from the shop. Clarified with another friend and he concurred. However both were using BMWs (with elect handbrakes of cause) as reference.. Was told this only applies to elect handbrake/parking brake system and not for the manual type. Any bros here encounter such issues? Or maybe I was just being smoked...

Your friend is right....the rear BBK does not work for electronic parking brake. You may want to consider upgrading the front to a 4 pot AMG BBK & keeping the OEM rears for better balance.

[Tykl]

Ow.. So it's true. Was looking at 6 front 4 rear but so far not yet available for W176.. Anyway if really do will still be 3 years down the road after warranty ends.

the FLw204 brakes are electronic? I thought I had to physically depress the parking foot brake?

[Jayson]

Fl w204 can change rear bbk, not electronic. No issues with foot parking brakes. I had mine done up. Cheers

W204 is using foot brake, but I was referring to A250 earlier. My W204 is currently on AMG 6/4...no problem.

[paleface]

Just install mine few weeks ago in c250. Never regret it. Power braking is good and not noise.

[noelxlover]

does changing to the bbk remove the squealing brake sound?

[jtang]

Yes...90% of all BBKs have some squealing sound. Some loud, some subtle. You will need to live with it. For me, that's 'music' that tell me my brakes are power!

[Jarebbsg]

So ironic....

i am in the 10%tile for the W212 AMG BBK. No squeeky at all. Hot or cold rotor. AMG pads or OEM pads

i am in the 90%tile for the W204 AMG BBK. The squeek irritates my wife and she commented....Go and check your brakes asap.
