Will W215 CL-class brake calipers fit into W203?

I have 2002 C240 with '06 funnel spoke 17" wheels, I was wondering if those big calipers (front and rear) from W215 CLs will fit on my car. Is it possible with minor/major modification?

I don't think it will because of the large rotors, I just want to clarify.
Maybe I should get 19s rims to clear rotors?

Any input will help.

Thanks!

think its better to get the c32 brakes (4-piston) or the slk55 brakes (6-piston)
those will bolt right on.
the c32s will your current wheels
the slk55s will clear 18s

The CLS55 AMG discs and calipers will need 19's to clear in the front.
These are the 380mm - 8-piston caliper (Brembo made) brakes...

You will also need to fabricate brackets to hold the calipers (not the easiest fabrication, due to necessary measurement detail)... You may also need spacers...

I actually considered the SL65 AMG kit for my C230SS but gave up after realizing the cost to install, on top of the purchasing...

I would suggest going for the big-brake Brembo kit for the C-Class... I think tire-rack has it...

Thank you! Very informative. Now I know, I'll save up for Brembo kit.
