Caliper upgrade ?
Will c55 calipers bolt up to our c43 without much fuss?..Want to upgrade to a stronger front caliper on my car.Also what other newer aluminum twin piston design will work on our cars? Thanks in advance.

Search around on this forum as the subject has been talked about many times. I don't know about C55 calipers but C32 do if you inverse calipers as the bleed screws are upside down.

Ok so the c32 calipers work.Is it a bolt on with the 32 rotors or can I keep the 43 rotors?

c32/c55 calipers are the same.
bolts from these calipers will fit
you have to put the left calip on the right side and right calip on the left side for nipples to point upwards when bleeding.
some people say they are an improvemnt over c43 calipers
you can probably use c43 rotors but you will get an egde where the pad didn't wear coz c43 rotor is 334mm vs c32 rotor is 345mm
