Logistics of upgrading brakes
Hey all,
I am looking at a set of 6-pot/4-pot Brembos on my C300 and was just wondering a couple of things.
Being a larger brake with different hydraulic characteristics, would the upgrade affect the ABS or ESP at all?
Would it throw an ABS code because there might be a change in brake fluid pressure?
Is the stock master cylinder good enough to handle the new brakes?
Thanks!

I did the C63 upgrade on a c300. There was no need to upgrade the master cylinder and there were no codes with the abs or esp.

I got the 4 pot AP Calipers as 6 Pot's seemed overkill for my needs plus I believe would mess with the braking balance too much. Running StopTech Slotted Rotors and pads. Kit works great and was a reasonably priced upgrade for me.

The installation was easy? The fit on our w204 like the c63 you just whant the extra brackets?
