Looking to upgrade your brakes?
I need to go back to stock and the main thing I need to part with is the Brembo Red C32 Front calipers and rotors I have in exchange for your stock calipers that clear the OEM 16" wheels. I paid $500 all together for the brakes and to get them painted. Trying to break even and would like a local buyer so we can go to a shop and get them swapped. Let me know. Thanks.

hmmm I may be fairly interested, my works clear my stock calipers just fine with 5mm spacers, would you know this would still be the case if I were to switch to these calipers?

Did you need the spacers to clear your stock calipers? It all depends on the offset of your wheels as well because I went ahead and bought 10mm spacers for my fronts but didnt need them to clear my wheels.

I needed the spacers to clear my coilovers, they cleared the calipers just fine. The offsets of my fronts are +32 so that should work right?

Can you pm me any photos you may have of the product?? Are there any cracks or anything on the rotors?

Sorry it looks like ill have to pass, I really want them but I just looked at the budget and it looks like I can't afford to pull the trigger at the moment.

I have the stock brakes off of my 2002 C230 coupe. Want to buy my stockers? I already upgraded to the AMG brakes so I don't need yours.
I think I have rotors too, but I would recommend getting them turned.
I think you'll get more $$ for your brakes if they are off the car and you are not counting on some type of swap. Being a Coupe man, I'd offer you something for the brakes and rotors, but honestly, I just don't have a use for a second set.
If you don't mind getting a bit dirty, we can work in the cost of labor to change the brakes. My warehouse is in Gardena and the work could be done there.
Shoot me a pm and let me know.

Thanks Karo.
I was only able to go for a quick drive with BigBodyBenzC240 after we completed the work. I couldn't really jump on it with all the baby stuff in the wagon (stroller, backpack, Leapster, etc). The lug wrench that I put on the back floor did come sliding forward though
I'll post more when I get to drive it more.
