Mercedes-Benz S63 AMG (W222) Big Brake Kit Upgrade / TTSPORT Evolution
The W222-generation Mercedes-AMG S63 pairs a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 with 612 hp and 900 Nm of torque, good for a 3.5-second 0-100 km/h run through a 9-speed automatic and 4MATIC+ all-wheel drive. A car with that much thrust needs braking hardware that can shed heat just as fast as the engine builds speed — which is why this build kept the AMG factory one-piece six-piston caliper and focused the upgrade on the rotor and lines.
The AMG caliper stayed in place; the rotor and brake lines were swapped for a carbon-ceramic disc and Goodridge stainless lines, both installed behind the car's stock 20-inch wheels.

| Brake lines | Goodridge stainless steel braided lines |
Why It Works
Carbon-ceramic rotors weigh a fraction of an equivalent iron disc. Less rotating mass at each corner means less unsprung weight for the suspension to control and less rotational inertia for the engine — and the brakes — to fight against. As the build's own team put it, shedding a pound of rotating mass does more for a car than adding a horsepower.
- A 420mm x 40mm rotor carries more thermal mass than the stock disc, so it can absorb more heat before fade sets in on repeated hard stops.
- Keeping the AMG factory caliper means no new bracket to engineer and no fitment guesswork — the geometry stays as designed, and the setup clears the factory 20-inch wheels with no spacers.
- Goodridge stainless lines resist expansion under pedal pressure, so more of the driver's input goes into clamping force instead of hose flex.
