About a 75% reduction in brake dust, and much longer lasting brake pad than OEM.

These are both very large sizes for passenger cars. I think that whatever combination of equipment the American market c230 Sport Sedan has affords it a significant brake improvement over a C240 or c320 luxury sedan. It's kind of difficult to compare these American models with the ones on the rest of the world. The C230 Kompressor was ONLY available as a sport model in the USA.
We might be talking at cross purposes but I think our Sport Pack is your Sport. I'm on my way to Saudi - will try & look up sizes on my return. To put things into perspective - the delightful little Honda Civic Type R pocket rocket runs 17" Brembo rotors up front!

One more thing for Saxman: the coupes are quite a lot cheaper to buy, because of their looks. Whether you like them or not is all judgement.
With the seats folded, you almost have a station wagon's cargo room. With them up, there's still plenty of head room.
