im thinking of swapping the calipers (and rotors down the road is their not the same size) from the sports model
it is the caliper which is painted silver with mercedes benz written on it gives it a clean upgraded but still oem look

Trapping of expelled gases on a street car is not a real issue.
I hope that you swapped out for ss lines and new fluid while you were doing the rotors/pads - that would give you a slightly better feel.

To be honest I don't really know. Mine are currently white but it gets brake dust and looks like crap. I want to paint them a different color but don't know what color to do. ![nix](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/nixweiss.gif)
On a black car definitely red will look great, i've seen yellow and that looks great as well. I believe SoCalC55 had his yellow and it looked very good![bow](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/bowdown.gif)
If you are going to upgrade please do not buy the c230 sport brakes or the C32/C55 sport brakes (4 piston). You will not feel a huge difference, as a matter of fact anyone who upgraded their C230 Sport brakes to the C350/C32/C55 brakes didn't notice a difference at all.
If you are going to upgrade get 6 piston with 4 in the back, that's when you'll notice a difference.
just my 0.02
If performance is what you want but if you want for looks then C32/C55 should do.

Let me drop some old school w203 knowledge here...
If you do not take the car to the track or have a 350+HP w203 then there really is NO reason to buy bigger kits than the C32 Brake kit. Unless you just like showing off, doing car shows or just have money to burn. I had both the C32 kit and Full Front and Rear Brembo BBK's and honestly speaking I didn't notice any difference in performance because 1. I didn't track the car and 2. The car was slow as snails lol.
