C55 brakes ar 4-piston fixed calipers. BTW - the C350, successor to the C320, has the C55 4-piston fixed calipers and 13.6" rotors from the factory

The price difference is around $1500-2000 between the four pistons and six pistons and in my opinion, not worth it.

The only difference is the caliper is painted silver and has an AMG logo. They are both identical in every other way.

BBK = Big Brake Kit.

C55 calipers and rotors should work fine on your C320.

**** NOTE **** You will need 17" or larger wheels AND depending on the style of wheel, have other clearance issues.
