AMG 6 piston Brake Upgrade???
For the last year I've been thinking about updating my 2005 W203 brakes to AMG. For the front 6 piston AMG brakes, here was the quote from last year for just the calipers:
Part # Description Price (US$)
002-420-20-83 Left Front 6P Caliper 421.80
002-420-19-83 Right Front 6P Caliper 421.80
A couple of days ago I got another quote from the MB dealer and they said there are newer versions of the front calipers:
Part # Description Price (US$)
003-420-48-83 Left Front 6P Caliper 720.00
003-420-47-83 Right Front 6P Caliper 720.00
Could anyone explain why the 6 piston front calipers increased in price from 421.80 to 720.00? Did it become more lighter or something? I don't see why I should choose the more expensive calipers when the old ones will fit just fine?
Thanks.

I dont know why the price went up but you should order the brakes from Duval motors online. They have the best prices on oem parts.

Are these guys trustable? 10% shipping cost is a killer... I'm just a little concerned about buying from them as opposed to an official Mercedes dealer...

For the C class you have to buy the ones of the SLK 55.
There you have two options;
The standard AMG ones or the AMG Performance package code 030 that have a larger disc in front but need a 19' rim.
Best Regards.
