here is the response of the factory about the feeling of the brake pedal:
The brakes on 21MY pass all EU braking tests & are perfectly suitable for the performance of the vehicle. In response to customer feedback on brake pedal travel, we have changed brake suppliers for the 22MY vehicles.
I hope this helpful.
Kind Regards,
Typical "Company Response", but disappointing. I hope they have gone back to AP Racing for the brakes.
As mentioned, the 6 pot calipers on the Plus 8 are better than the AMG Branded Brembo 4 pot calipers on the two AMGs. By better I mean there is almost no free travel, the initial bite is subtle, retardation is linear with increasing pressure and ultimately they stop the car in a progressive manner. Or in a sudden stop they bring the car to a stop, but it is possible to work with the ABS to minimise braking distance.
