I would like to see couple of close up pictures of the front and rear calipers from a C350 Sport. If anyone can help out I would appreciate it.

They are same calipers as the c32 if I'm not mistaken

Nope, but apparently very similar, without the AMG logo; the mounting bracket behind them is different somehow, but from there back it is a direct bolt on. That is part of what I am trying to puzzle out - if they redesigned the bracket or if there is a bolting difference, and exactly what other differences I see, front and rear. I suspect the differences are mostly cosmetic, but haven't been able to get a good comparison. More honestly, I just wanted a good look at them before I order parts. I will probably do it regardless just for fun.

I believe they're like the c32 but designed like the c55 calipers. I remember a thread saying the c55 calipers are the same as the c350

The caliper is similar in design, except it is slightly shorter to use a 330 mm rotor (C55 is 345) and a slightly thinner rotor than the C55. There is no mounting bracket like on the larger MB calipers, the hole locations are part of the casting (not technically, but you won't be able to adjust it easily is what I'm saying)

Now we are getting somewhere! How have you been? Hmmm, that makes me wonder if the C55 stuff would fit behind the 17 inch Coupe wheels. I have always assumed not, since there were more drastic changes made to the front end of the C55. Of course the C55 brakes still wouldn't get me where I want to go, I am avoiding the AMG logo.

I guess I just need to dig a bit more. I've also got to remember I can look at some CLK parts, I always seem to forget that. Would still appreciate pictures at some point.
