none... for now
Ebay.
Also, with light modification both front and rear can fit stock rotors I believe.
2005+ CLK55/63 have neato, but hugely expensive and stupid 2 piece rotors(despite the fact that an advantage of a 2-piece is you only need to buy new discs, not hats, Benz will only sell you the whole rotor). The OEM C32/55 front rotors are a tiny bit bigger then the CLK's. The CLK's might be a tiny bit thicker though.

Guys, you are saying that there is a chance to fit only the 6/4 calipers with the original 345/300 discs and be able to use 17" wheels??
Please if someone have done this to spoke now or remain silent forever

As i understand you, there may be a problem only in rear?
And what about the master cylinder, will it have enough power?
Thank you

I don't think any problem in rears, need to be sure that the front caliper not touching the wheel, if so, just need to use spacer to clear it,,
C32 sharing the same C55 brakes, including master cylinder, which is strong with any brake upgrade....

This was my main concerne, about the calipers toching the wheel with the stock 17" Im not really in to adding spacers... If it's really possible to put only the caliper in front and use the stock wheel then good for me, and bad for my wallet

Honestly; not so sure about stock wheel with 6-pot calipers,
we tried aftermarket 7.5jx17" BBS all around, with 6-pot calipers in my friend's C32, it clears everything...

My stock AMG wheels are fited with winter tires. For summer u use a beutiful Hoedus wheels (same like US sport W203) which are 2x lighter than stock and in my mind 5x better looking. Now a third set of wheels...
Will do my research and if it fits will search for 6/4 pots.

slk55 rotors are 340x32 and c55 are 345x30 and I can't possibly see them fitting 17" rims in the front as I am running my stock 18" and it is tight but fits like a glove. I also did the mod to fit c55 rotors to the slk/clk 6 pot calipers. It just required 2.5mm washers to lift the caliper closer to the hub to compensate for the 2.5 mm difference in radius of the 2 rotors. The thickness difference doesn't matter as the c55 is thinner so the caliper compensates by just filling with more fluid to sit closer to the rotor. I did this because I had brand new rotors at the time of coming across the calipers and didn't wanna drop an extra $900 on 2 front rotors. Been running the set up for 50k miles with no issues! and break pads still going strong! EBC Ceramic FTW!
