SLK55 brakes

Are those 6-pot calipers (w/composite rotors) in the front and 4-pots in the back?

The 340mm rotor is standard with 6 piston caliper. The Slk55 "030 AMG Performances Packages" came with 360mm rotors but they're alot more expensive then the standard 340mm rotor. You're looking at about $250-$300 more per rotor.

slk55 nominal thickness is 32mm minimum thickness is 30mm. the "hat" is what bolts the rotor to the hub the "ring" is the outer portion the caliper clamps to

i will be swapping my drag setup out for my street setup this weekend. ill measure the hats i have on the car then if you want new rotors the racing brake 2 piece rotors for the c32 or a direct bolton for the 6 piston calipers. 340mm and super light. 1000$ for the pair

Thankss alot,, good idea about C32 "2" piece rotors, since we got the correct measurement, then its soo easy to fabricate them in any 340mm rotors,,

Good Luck with a drag setup.......
