Those brakes are beautiful. 
Did your previous setup ever fail generate sufficient brake torque to induce incipient lockup or activate the BAS/ABS? Perhaps they faded enough to vaporize their DOT 4+ fluid? The only reason I ask, with all due respect, is that after enthusiastic tests on the track my OE brakes (with Porterfield pads) never failed to repeatedly haul ‘er down from triple digit velocities with alacrity.

Thanks. They've been heated enough from the break in time. Squeak like hell, but I figure that'll be around for a little bit until they're fully broken in from 1 weeks worth of driving. Bedding looks like it went perfect cuz the rotors are glazed evenly.

I hate you! 
Btw do you have the p/n's for your old setup? I told Lensolo to pm you since he was looking for them.

Original brake lines are the same.

Loved my OEM setup with the Porterfields. But I love the new setup even more and I figured, w/ Pshek having that 030 setup available (ready for install on a w203), might as well do it now and take them off his hands.

Hahaha...I'm thinking it may be the slight difference between the CLK 63 setup vs. the SLK? Maybe I have the SLK 030 and Harry (according to the part numbers) has the CLK 63?
Heh...unless there's another 2 piece floating set out there, it's gotta be the real deal.
