Brake upgrade
Hello guys!
I have a CLK 200 Kompressor Convertible, and planning to upgrade front brakes with new 4pistons calipers.
I believe I can buy used ones from other versions as CLK55 but if anyone knows it better please let me know as I'm still learning about Mercedes and CLKs.
Just to make it a bit more safer without going crazy with a super upgrade.
Thanks!
Joao

the o4 clk55 came with 17 so depending on the style it may work. My question is why. The brakes on your car are more than sufficient to stop your car. Buy better pads and tires. It will probably make a much bigger/noticeable difference.

I would like to keep for now the 17" wheels.
But to be honest, after driving this car for the first times, I think this is an upgrade to be made. I dont think it brakes very well and it have still good discs and pads.
my question is: from which merc model I can get 4 pistons calipers almost plug&play?
Thanks!

Doesnt the CLK200 come with 4 piston calipers up front? I realize they will not be the same as the 55AMG brakes, but how much do you want to spend vs. how much braking power do you want?
Personally, I'd first start by throwing on better pads and see where that gets you. I have had EBC Yellows on my stock caliper and it was too much braking power for the road!!! I'll be trying EBC Reds next time. Try them! Its <$100 for the fronts
