Yea, I'm definatly thinking about it. Little pricy for a brake kit though. About $2400. Anyone have any input on them? Better or worse than Brembo? Someone let me know!! Would be a great addition to a Brabus car that most people don't end up doing. What do you guys think?

If it's $2400 for a complete front/rear BBK, that's a great price. Do you know who makes their components? Any pics?

Yea that would be a great price if it were front and rear. I'm not sure Brabus even does rear components for brakes. This is just a front kit. Here are the pictures. They look sexy I really want them but 2400 is alot for fronts. I just did a bbk on my W204 for $1250.

From the pictures, they look small. How big are the rotors/calipers?

I know you want to stick with the Brabus theme, but have you considered an AMG BBK? I'm doing that on my car, and the fronts/rears are not much more than the Brabus fronts

Oh yea? Good point, what is the cost of those? Are you doing front, back or both? These brabus rotors are 360mm. Maybe the pictures are making the calipers look small. They are 6 piston as I'm sure you saw on the caliper itself. I would definatly consider an AMG brake set up though. I love mine on the CL but they are SooOoooOOoOOO loud! They squeak and squeal like a city cab. Be ready for that....

OK, the rotors are the same size.

I'm doing the brakes off the E55:

14.2"/13" rotors
8-piston/4-piston calipers

PM on price

2005 E500 with 'some' BRABUS upgrades
Where did you find these? That has got to be the cheapest big brake kit with quality I have ever seen.

I would like to purchase a set..where can I find them?

2400 is a pretty good price for a set of new 6-pot 360mm kit.
