When I improved my brakes I was told it was a waist of money and that it didn't make a difference anyway. As long as you have enough to lock them up you didn't need bigger brakes. LOL, I didn't even bother arguing. I've spent time on the track and back roads with the Porsche and I know what I need to feel confident and in controll. I have had the c32 brakes fade a little coming off of the pass at speed. but was not a big issue. I had some space to work with. But on the track it could be a different story. I'm going for the advanced driver coarse soon so I can go to more track events. And I might take the Mercedes to work on driving skills with it. So this might be something I have to do. I'm glad someone gets it, and the car looks great.

some slow@$$diesels
after having driven 3000km through germany during the last 5 days I am extremely impressed with the brake improvement - the car finally slows down bigtime and without complaining about fading issues due to some heat.
I should have done this a long time ago...no more worries about being cut off when doing 200+ kmh speeds.
greetingz,

SLK55 [030]/CLK63 brakes are the same...and SLK55/latemodel CLK55 brakes are the same as well
The SLK brakes are not made by Brembo so the rotos are not available from Brembo either...DC used a different manufacturer for the SLK brakes (as far as I have been told).
SLK55 & SLK55 [030] rear brakes:
003 420 30 83 - calliper R: 327.92
003 420 29 83 - calliper L: 327.92
004 420 49 20 - brakepads: 99.14
171 423 02 12 - rotor: 116.88 each
SLK55 front brakes:
003 420 48 83 - calliper R: 415.36
003 420 47 83 - calliper L: 415.36
004 420 50 20 - brakepads: 98.38
171 421 01 12 - rotor: 439.55 each
SLK55 [030] front brakes:
003 420 68 83 - calliper R: 415.36
003 420 67 83 - calliper L: 415.36
004 420 50 20 - brakepads: 98.38
209 421 01 12 - rotor: 513.96 each
the metal dustcover plate behind the brakes probably has to be changed as well...ALL PRICING IN EURO

Rotor (x2) - 171-423-02-12

Protective Plate - right 171-423-02-20
plus a few miscellaneous screws, thrust pin, dust caps, bleeder valves, & pins.

unless you want to cut them yourself, as Steve suggested above.

how much cutting do you have to do to the heat shield ?
You are referring to the heat shields for the exhaust muffler, correct ?
Do you have any pics of that ?

you have to cut off enough to clear the caliper, but I just cut the whole thing off because for some reason, my rotors were touching the shield.

You're cutting a section (almost a 1/4 of the shield sometimes) that's completely vertical. The rotors touching the shield? Just bend them back until they don't.
