stop-tech fitment question
hey guys
just purchased the 4pot 332mm stop tech bbk to replace my sticking calipers. the salesman sent me the measurement diagram to check fitment, but i was wondering if anyone had experience with this kit with a 19" brabus monoblock vi with spacers. im going to take the wheel off to check in the next few days when i have some time but was curious if any of you knew for certain. I would imagine they would if they cleared the stock 2 pot sport brakes no problem...

So the new BBK only increases rotor size by 7mm? 
I thought it would be more of an increase than that, but I don't know much about BBKs. I measured my stock rotors at 325mm (12.8")
Oddly enough, the brochure for the 2005 C230 says it has 345mm rotors (13.6").

i chose the 332 mm rotor kit for the 4 pot st-40 caliper because the 355mm kit was $800 more expensive and the stop-tech guys said they actually prefer the balance of the 332 mm kit/st-40 combo over the larger option, especially if you are running OEM rear brakes. either way, it should be a great improvement to my current situation w/ brakes, and should shave some unsprung weight off the front end.

a quarter mile at a time
how many times do we have to go over this?
2004.5 - 4-piston fixed calipers w/ 12.9" rotors
2005+ C230 - 2-piston fixed calipers w/ 12.9" rotors
C32/C55/C350 - 4-piston fixed calipers w/ 13.6" rotors.
I doubt you'll have any clearance issues if the wheels didn't have any problems with the stock 2-piston calipers.
