Can I put C32 AMG front brake to my 2006 W203 SS ??

Hi All,

I did the search, but NO answear found. I got a front AMG brake from a friend's C32. I am not sure if I can put the C32 AMG caliper to my 2006 W203 SS. I am going to put on just the caliper NOT the rotor(use my stock rotor & pad). Can I do that without any mod ?? I already know:

1.2005 and up W203 SS come with 2 piston Brembo brake with 13.6 rotor
2.2004.5 W203 SS come with 4 piston Brembo brake with 13.6 rotor(same as C32 brake,just put Mercedes Benz instead of Brembo on the calipers)

Please do not ask me why, just want to try it out. but I need to make sure if it can fit first. because my friend is not in the state. the shipping is going to be a lot. although I can get it for free !!
thanks

u can use the 4-pistion c32 brakes and use your stock cross drilled rotors on your 06, but u have to change the brake pads too. this has been done. im about to do the conversion myself soon.

the front brakes run around $600-$700 at the dealer, which won't put a big hole in your pocket compared to the brembo gran turismo set up.

i also heard you can get the slk amg 55 brembo rear brakes for the rear and is a direct bolt on too, but im not sure.

if I remember correctly, the SS has a 13" disc and the amg has a 13.6" disc.

I found this on mbusa:

Brakes Dual-circuit power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes. 13.6" perforated and internally ventilated front discs. 11.4" solid rear discs. Dual-piston fixed front and single-piston floating rear calipers

white_w203:

whats include in $600-$700 ?? two Calipers only ?? I found they are about $420 for two caliper on some Mercedes parts website !!

Sorry the $420 is for Non-AMG calipers !! Stupid Mercedes parts website show the same parts number between C320 and C32 front calipers. I know they are wrong for sure.

i know someone who has an 05 c230k ss and did the conversion and just by changing the calipers only and the kept the stock cross drilled rotors and i think the c32 and ss have the same size rotor, if not larger.

white and whiter
the 05-06 ss have slight thinner rotors. But the AMG caliper should work, you just have to change the pads.
