What’s the advantage of those discs as opposed to the factory CC ones?

The Surface Transforms ceramic disc brakes are a) significantly lighter than OEM Mercedes and Porsche ceramic discs and b) can absorb higher temperatures than their OEM counterparts. I regularly track my cars and since fitting the Surface Transforms ceramic brake discs to my GT3Rs last year I haven’t looked back. If you don’t go near a track day or only do two or three a year, however, I wouldn’t bother.

You lucky git, that’s almost the prefect combination of track cars!

Are the GTR wheels painted? I’ve got similar wheels on my C63, problem is they’re diamond cut, which is such a crap finish for U.K. roads.

Thanks. I wanted a heavyweight (Mercedes), middleweight (Porsche) and a lightweight (Atom) with 8, 6 and 4 cylinders. Got there in the end!

The wheels on my GT R Pro are standard so I’m not sure if they’re painted or not. I assume they are. It’s a nice finish. Maybe Mercedes World could help you out?

First time at Thruxton in the big Merc and what an experience! It’s an extremely fast circuit for those who haven’t been before and a real tyre killer, especially the passenger side. The new ST ceramic discs performed admirably. A great day.
