Not really. The calipers on the rear are really small compared to the front. Replacing the rear with the SLK55 setup.... bigger caliper and rotors...

Thanks Greg! Keeping the AMG front calipers, just replacing the rears to the bigger calipers and rotors.

Should be alright. Frank has been running on 4 and 4 setup for a while w/ the Brembo GT fronts.

Either way, this upgrade is so worth it! You'll really like it.

Unfortunately Anthuny the world was dealt a cruel blow with MB supplying the c32 with puny two piston calipers and no xdrilled rotors . Only till the 06 CLK 63 and the SLK 55 step up to the plate did this change.
