Which cars take the GiroDisc Mercedes Rear Iron Rotor Conversion?

GiroDisc lists the Mercedes Rear Iron Rotor Conversion for the E63 AMG, CLS63 AMG and SLS AMG fitted with factory carbon-ceramic rear brakes. As the E63 and CLS63 span several generations, send us the VIN so we can confirm the fit before ordering.

Do the AMG rear calipers need modification for the iron conversion?

No. GiroDisc builds this conversion as a direct replacement for the factory rear disc. It bolts directly to the car and works with the original calipers, so no spacers, brackets or machining are involved, and the rear brake hardware of the AMG stays as Mercedes supplied it.

Why switch an SLS AMG from ceramic to iron rear rotors?

Ceramic discs are expensive to replace once worn. The GiroDisc conversion uses iron rings on reusable aluminum hats, so later rear brake work only needs new rings, and the curved vane rings are designed to resist overheating under repeated hard use on track.

How many drive pins does each AMG rear rotor use?

Ten. GiroDisc makes the high-strength alloy steel pins to its own specification and cadmium plates them for corrosion resistance. They carry the braking load between ring and hat while letting the ring float, and spring washers keep them quiet when cold.

Are the AMG rear iron rotors handed?

Yes. The vanes inside the ring are curved and only pump air outward when they turn in the correct direction. GiroDisc makes left and right handed rotors and labels each one, so fit them to the marked side to keep the cooling they were built for.

Description

GiroDisc Mercedes Rear Iron Rotor Conversion for E63, CLS63 and SLS AMG

GiroDisc’s Mercedes Rear Iron Rotor Conversion for E63, CLS63 and SLS AMG models replaces the factory carbon-ceramic rear discs with two-piece iron rotors. It bolts directly to the car with no modifications and works with the original calipers. For an AMG owner who has priced a set of ceramic discs and plans regular track use, iron rings on reusable aluminum hats are the more economical way to keep the rear brakes fresh.

Bolt-On and Go

The Mercedes Rear Iron Rotor Conversion swaps straight onto the rear hubs, and the factory calipers refit without changes. Ten cadmium-plated alloy steel drive pins float each cast iron ring on a 6061-T6 aluminum hat, held by class 12.9 cap screws with hardened washers, and spring washers let the ring expand with heat while staying quiet.

About GiroDisc

GiroDisc designs, manufactures, and sells 2-piece, fully floating brake rotors for a wide range of performance vehicles.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
