i have a 2001 clk 430, im trying to upgrade the brakes with out spending a lots of money... i wonder if a 4 pot brake calipers from any other mercedes will fit mine???:
like the ones in the ML55 amg suv .

If you want direct bolt-on, you can go with "W202 C43/W208 CLK55/W210 E55" brakes,

no need any mods for fitment..

Keep in mind that your stock 17" wheels will probably not have enough room to clear a big brake upgrade.

With 2-pot F&R C43/CLK55 brakes will fit with 17", but with 4-pot C32/C55 brakes it might be, need to try them..

The c32/55 come with 17inch rims stock

ProjectC55

depends on which 17 inch mb rims you use

The C55 comes on 18"s like the face lifted 209 clk55s

Im running the CLK430 17's (track rims) and have the c32/c55/clk550 (all use the same caliper) calipers and rotors. Mine are specifically from a c55. with that said I only have a few mm of clearance on the spokes. I am running a square setup with 8 1/2 all around.

Excellent, you make it sooooo easy..

ZAYED,,

@santagtmb - I have a pair of used w208 clk 55 amg front calipers for sale if you're interested.

sick430

Those are different than the ones the OP is talking about.

The W209 calipers and rotors are more forgiving in price and apply to upgrade brembos.

W208 rotors and calipers are priced out of existence.I just forked over $500 for oem stugart Zimmerman rotors.

The W209 were a bit larger in diameter and the calipers should clear. only pending thought is you are a non AMG and the Caliper brackets/spindle might be totally different.

I would investigate part numbers for the 430 vs 55 as to compatibility.

sick430

Same part

Bringing it back from the dead because I just want to pull the trigger and finally get this done.
The calipers I have on hand are 207047048 which I 'think' are to a 2004 CL500. I checked the fitment on the calipers and they are fine but will need spacers I believe. Will stock CL500 rotors work in this case?
