They are wrong. Insure you have all the proper parts. I suggest going to the AMG C32 brakes with all the right equipment. You'll need 17 inch wheels to clear the brakes.

So I just change all the brake system like a normal car ?

Did I need to change something else to make the c32 amd brakes work on my c320 ? Like the pipes , pump , etc ?

My understanding is that it's a direct swap, but as SeaCoupe mentioned, make sure you have 17" wheels or larger. 16" (stock with many W203s) won't clear the brakes.

Yes, it's a direct swap, without problems.

Don't forget about the spare tire, though; that won't clear, either.
