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!

No, I swapped out the fronts of my c200 with AP Racing with no issues.

Can you tell us more about the AP Racing? since the Brembo calipers of C63 are too expensive, maybe AP Racing help us..

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?
