Got my group buy C32 front brakes installed at Evosport today. I know I am not the first, but I have photos
Below the stock caliper for a C230K - 2003
The StopTech s/s/brake lines worked perfect

Exactly - I am looking for cross drilled rear C32 rotors. So far I have been told Brembo makes them? I have the rear calipers ready for painting, need to get the same silver AMG type paint.
I have REMSA semimetallic rear pads ready to go.
I am thinking of getting the rear rotors cryogenically treated if it isn't too much. Supposedly will make them last far longer, for the rear perhaps 60-80K?

I don't have the benefit of visiting ben and the boys to get it done there - how much did it cost to do the install? with 4 lines that is?
I want a basis to go to my dealer with if possible.

$85 per hour. I did not have them install the rear ss lines. I will do that when I get the rear cross drilled rotors and install the rear C32 calipers. Don't let them charge over 1.5 hours for the front. Evosport does it right, road testing and braking in the new pads. This is something I have done myself for 35 years

Wait till you have a real good need for a panic style brake! Holy Batman the car stops on a dime and gives 9 cents change.
Worth every bit of the cost.
I only did the ss lines in the front, feel of the pedal is better than stock. Can't wait to get the rear ss lines installed, other cars I have had make you never want the stock feel again.

Awaiting a new arrival...
Can anyone confirm if the Stoptech rear lines will work on the C230 stock rear calipers? I have no plans to upgrade to different rear calipers at this time, but will do the lines if they do indeed work on stock calipers. I checked the Stoptech site and could not determine.
Incidentally, I have previous experience with Stoptech and their products and service are great. In fact, I have an unrelated order going in today, too.
Finally, did anyone ever get tracking or shipping info from Evosport? I've gotten neither and no responses to emails...

So YES the Stoptech ss lines will work with the stock rear calipers.
No wonder the pedal feels so good and the car stops so well. Happy Camper
