I really like AP but didn't think they made kits for W202/208? , do you know the piston sizing?
Please post pics
Yes once my car is back from shop I'll post picks. They should have brakes done hopefully soon (shop and stillen are going back and forth with measurements) but decided now to als get recaro pole position installed - this should add another 1-2weeks. see link below (6pot front and 4pot rear)
thx I was actually using stop tech SS lines with ate blue brake fluid... actually this with stop tech pads were great!
the ap racing brakes come with their own SS lines. to be honest I didn't really need this new setup as stock calipers and rotors were good but I plan to track my car a lot more now and also like bbk look
Hello Zayed,
No,I already have stoptech trophy str40/332mm on the front they brake really nice
The stoptech bracket I have makes contact with the swaybar bush bracket when suspension is down and full lock, it is ok when car is on the ground but this will not pass inspection. I used this bracket on my last 202 im not sure why I only found this now maybe I did not turn full lock with car off the ground before!
My bracket contacts the swaybar bush, there is ~10mm more movement needed for full lock... options are to make a custom bracket and move caliper anticlockwise ~10mm or run 355mm rotors with bracket but this might use different piston sizing and cost heaps for new rotors^^?...
I'm even more exited now to getting my car back. my shop is working with ap racing to getting the brackets just right. last I heard was they are done but ap racing will be sending me new ones. when I get my car back I'll take picks of them for you.
do you know if those w202 made any changes to their steering setup?
2012 C63 P31 LSD-Current: My past 1999 C43, 2004 Clk55, 1999 C280 sport, 1995 C280
^^^ Wow!! great pics! I would love to race out my C43 one day, I would feel bad though since its a pretty well cared for one..Wouldn't mind buying a not so loved one, one day and doing something like that, you don't see a raced out 202 everyday!
Quant, look forward to seeing the results!..I am not sure about the steering, it does look tricky to change to rack and pinion
I think for my situation and to pass inspection it is best to shift the caliper,
I removed some material to test how far it will need to move I think it is too much to reuse the Stoptech bracket..
Also found some ebay 202 kits shift the caliper up you can see the bracket is not symmetrical..
Cheers,
I made a quick moch up to be sure it will work when offset some 10mm, just enough space not to have to cut the dust shield,I imagine you will be making similar to clear the sway bar bush!
picked up car from shop today, seems like it's not touching anything but I plan to really check it soon. when I get a chance I will take pics of the whole setup for everyone to see... great job making your own bracket, big props!!

even if the 13" is slightly smaller than the OE 334.
