Talking SLK 55AMG Brakes on C350 sportscoupe
Hi my friends. I'm an owner of a C350 sportscoupe and I'd like to inform me if can I retrofit SLK 55AMG brakes on my car (6piston front and 4piston rear) without any special modification.

Thank 's in advance.

What's the queer with the C350 sportcoupe?

In europe the largest engine for C-sportscoupe is the M272 V6 3.500cc.

So, the only thing I' ve to do, is to buy the brakes set front and rear? (calliper, disc rotors and brake pads)

What kind of alloy do i need? I 've 17'' AMG alloys now (see the photo).

At all events, thank's for your answer.

The queer is due to the fact that we don't have them here in the U.S. and most of us have never seen one.

Absolutely. A mere underdrive pulley kit should push it over 300 HP easily.
Wouldn't that be fun? Under 6 second 0-60.
I'm very jealous. Nice car.

Look carefully, Carlos' car has so many upgrades- there's more difference than just the 300cc's and 47HP.

Looks like you're out of luck.
But soulsurplus.com might be able to help.

I 'd like to inform you that I 've upgrade my E.C.U. with MKB' s remapping software http://www.mkb-power.de/upload/produ...45dad5f424.jpg and now I' ve 306Hp and 375Nm. That translates with my amateur measures to 0-100Km/h in 5.8secs and 0-160Km/h in 13.4secs.


Do you know if the mount (base) of the calliper(rear & front) is the same in W203 and R171 or W209?

Thank's

Oh, damn! Now if you can locate an underdrive pulley set....
Evosport? Thats a cheap, easy, and safe way to get more power to the road.
Now I'm REALLY jealous!! Over 300HP with only a chip?
Wow.
You know, the setup you're looking for is possible,
you should check here...
http://www.mbenznl.com/
If you search around here somewhere you'll find his C Class estate with
exactly the setup you've described. Send him an email to get a quote.
His name is Steve.

Also the 4 piston fronts alone make a huge difference for under a grand...

EDIT: Here's the thread..
https://mbworld.org/forums/c-class-w203/187831-c32-brakes-horror-finally-over.html

And C32 brakes DON'T suck. They only suck if you drive 150 all the time like Steve. We can't do that in the US. And they are much more adequate than the stock C coupe brakes.
Now those DO suck.
