After reading harry's thread about this, i was convinced these brakes were HUGE. After seeing them in your pix, they dont seem that big Still looks freakin sexy though.

Wow. Front and rear...C32 brakes just aren't enough to "keep up with the Jone's " around here anymore. Where does one shell out more meaningless cash to obtain this kit? Hmmm...and I'd need new wheels too...
Looks like the kits that Steve-o put together.

It looks totally badass!

Thanks. Damage was bad enough for me not to say, but not as bad as it would've costed for a Brembo set.

Thanks. You need some stopping power too!

Offset is 32et Front, 36et Rear. Wheel size is 19X8.5 and 19X10. But keep in mind that they were made for BBK clearance.

Hey Rey. Thanks. Cheaper than Brembo (even though the calipers are made by Brembo), but still a pretty penny. I bought the SLK 030's off Pshek cuz he didn't end up switching and stuck with his Alcon's.

Thanks, B. Hopefully I won't spend anymore money until Steve's next trip to Cali (not the one coming up though).

Yeah, but I need new rear tires soon. Just remembered right now.

Thanks, G. They feel awesome, just haven't really tested them out to the fullest yet. Gonna give it a week to really be good to "test". Hahaha...I love my sarcasm. Yeah, sometimes I wonder if I'm wasting money, like a recent 16 year old tried to tell me... Oh well, who cares, at least my car can turn well and stop well.

What are you talkin' about playa? Mr., "C Class isn't fast enough so I'm gonna get a M3."...HAHAHAHA.

It's weird because Jose, Frank and I were talkin' bout the front grille last night and how it matches the front bumper so much better than my OEM sport bumper. Now that you mention the CLS comparison, never really noticed, but you're right. I see the resemblance. I actually would've probably liked the w204 if they designed it like the CLS. It's funny too, cuz I didn't really like the CLS initially. I got over it when I saw the CLS Rocket

Thanks. Cheaper than Brembo's, but bought these off Pshek. Install by TWS.

I know. They look a lot bigger in Harry Madan's pics. I'm pretty sure he's got 18's though and when comparing to Frank's Brembo's yesterday, we realized it was most likely my color match centers and the 19's that made them look small, even though they're bigger and lighter than my OEM's.

Todd, they're not that expensive, considering that Brembo GT kit's are 2G's more than these for a complete kit. C32 brakes are great, but I needed new rotors and pads anyway, so I figured I might as well upgrade.

Meaningless cash FTW...Just wish it was completely true...

looking good, ur wheels have a lot more space for those brakes then i doo.



man there is like a paper think line between my calipers and wheels,
they harsh fill my wheels and on ur car they look like good. i just cant Imagen how small the other brakes must have looked on those wheels.
