The 16's will not clear the brakes for sure.

Ben, are really sure that the AMG upgrade will not clear 16" wheels? This winter I got steel rims and winter tires from tirerack. Do you happen to know the diameter including the caliper for the AMG kit? I'm hoping the steel rims will have more clearance compared with the stock 16" alloys. I’m dying to get the AMG kit.
Thanks
The C32 front brakes are too large to fit inside of 16" wheels.

Sorry, you missed the group buy, but $595 is still a great price for the upgrade!

We are currently awaiting a shipping confirmation from Germany. As soon as all 22 kits on order are available, they will ship. From there, it will be about a 1-1.5 week wait. I will keep everyone posted.

Thanks,
Ben

Awaiting a new arrival...
Ben, I left you a VM this evening regarding my order (I am not cancelling), but it is of great importance. My contact info is in the message. Thanks.

Robert,

I will not be back in the office until 9 am tomorrow. If you need immediate attention, try emailing me at ben@evosport.com (although I may not be able to help you until tomorrow).

Thanks,
Ben

Update:

The brakes will ship this week from Germany and will take 3-4 weeks in transit time. We will notify you as soon as they arrive. Please understand that the brakes also must travel through customs, which may take up to a week to arrive.


Thanks,
Ben

Ben,

Would the lead time on sets of C32 Fronts and E55 Rears be just as long?

Are the C32s still at $595?
What would the E55s run?

The E55 rear brakes (which I believe were around $1,000) would take longer, as this shipment is departing any day. It would probably be about 6 weeks for the rear.

I can get them locally in much less time, but the pricing would not be close to that of the C32 brake pricing we offered.

Lightbulb Is there anyone who wants to take my order?

Is there anyone who wants to take my order?

My "Visit Workshop" light has been on for a week now, and I know I won't be able to wait for the C32 brake upgrade much longer...my wife uses it daily for work and about 500 miles each weekend and it's really becoming a safety issue. My intent is to just go to a local dealer for brake service.

Ben, is it possible to "transfer" my order to someone who will take it?
