The Mercedes-AMG E63S (W213) blends executive luxury with supercar-level performance. With its twin-turbocharged 4.0L V8 pumping out up to 603 horsepower, this AMG sedan delivers blistering acceleration — but all that speed demands an equally capable braking system.
From spirited daily driving to aggressive track sessions, brake performance defines confidence behind the wheel. That’s why Triton Motorsports has developed a full line of brake upgrades for the AMG E63S, covering every need:
Floating Steel 2-Piece Rotors – A lighter, stronger, serviceable upgrade over factory steel rotors.
Carbon Ceramic Conversion Kits – Transform your steel-braked E63S into a fade-free powerhouse.
CCB-H Carbon Ceramic Replacements – A superior replacement for AMG’s factory ceramic composite discs.
Why the AMG E63S Needs Brake Upgrades
The W213 AMG E63S weighs nearly 4,500 lbs and delivers relentless torque through its advanced 4MATIC+ system. While AMG equips the car with impressive factory brakes, hard-driving owners quickly encounter limitations:
Heat buildup → brake fade during extended spirited driving or track use.
High unsprung weight from steel rotors affecting handling sharpness.
Premature wear on factory discs under repeated high-energy stops.
Expensive factory ceramic replacements with limited long-term durability.
For drivers seeking more than “good enough,” Triton’s brake upgrades deliver true motorsport technology engineered for both street and circuit use.
Floating Steel 2-Piece Rotors for AMG E63S
The Weakness of OEM Steel Rotors
Mercedes equips non-ceramic E63S models with large steel rotors. While functional, they are quasi 2-piece designs, where the hat and friction ring are semi-integrated. This reduces serviceability and thermal efficiency.
Triton’s Floating Steel Solution
Our floating steel rotors are true 2-piece assemblies, featuring:
Billet aluminum hats (6061/7075) with hard anodizing.
High-carbon steel friction rings with directional vane structures.
Floating hardware allowing independent thermal expansion.
Key Benefits for AMG Owners
Better heat dissipation → less fade, more consistent braking.
Lighter unsprung mass → improved suspension response and agility.
Replaceable rings → lower long-term maintenance cost.
Durability for spirited street and track use.

CCB-H Carbon Ceramic Replacements for Factory Ceramics
Many AMG E63S models were optioned with factory carbon ceramic composite (CCM) brakes. While lighter than steel, CCM discs use chopped fibers, making them prone to:
Premature surface wear
Micro-cracking with repeated heat cycles
Sky-high OEM replacement costs
Triton’s CCB-H Replacement Advantage
Hardened surface layer with SiC infusion for maximum durability.
3D long-fiber reinforcement vs chopped fibers for CCM.
Direct-fit replacements for factory ceramic systems.
Fade-free performance over countless heat cycles.
Simply put: Triton’s CCB-H rotors outperform factory ceramics in strength, lifespan, and cost efficiency.
