DON'T PASS UP THIS OFFER !!!
believe me, this is a SWEET deal....
this AMG 4-piston brake system will work on W203 and W209 (C-class & CLK-class) Upgrading will give your car a more aggressive look, and the 13.6" cross-drilled rotors will also improve your car's stopping power dramatically. Due to the increased caliper size, this application is only for front wheels in combination with 17" + wheels.

oooh
ooooh, I want these brakes so bad I can taste it!
I get really erked when I see a 2004.5 rollup with the 4 piston calipers and cross drilled rotors roll up.. Especially since my car is a 2004 I was literally 2 months off!
Well what better way to go than the C32 brake kit, its bigger and better!!! For less cash too! I cant believe brembo is selling the kit for like $3k. Ridiculous.
Well people I have 5 for sure people that are officially in! We need 5 more. I know you people have about $620 dollars laying around ....
Here is a link to what the brakes look like sitting in some nice rims...https://mbworld.org/forums/showthrea...&pagenumber=74

how much will it cost to ship to boston. I have to factor that into the cost. 620 is a great deal but if it is 150 to ship them because they are soo heavy, it wouldn't be a good deal for me. Let me know.

shipping
Im checking with Ben right now.. Maybe a parcel carrier has a shipping calculator online we can use...
All I know is that the brakes are 70lbs of freight...
If there are People who seriously want the brakes, that live on the east coast and are reluctant due to shipping, PM me...
I will post the shipping calc. info when I get it from Ben.

A Few Questions:
1. Sorry for being ignorant... I assume we are buying 4 brakes, right?
2. How much will it cost to install thes brakes?
3. Do I need any extra spacers if I have the stock rims on my 2003 C230K sedan?

1. Sorry for being ignorant... I assume we are buying 4 brakes, right? front , rotors, calipers, pads, sensors
2. How much will it cost to install thes brakes? depends where you go i was quoted $90
3. Do I need any extra spacers if I have the stock rims on my 2003 C230K sedan? no, those rims are the same as the C7 rims on the coupe and they will clear, look at the pic here on this link with those rims and the AMG brakes.

estimated total costs
hi, i'd like to just get a rough estimate for the total costs for this amg brake mod. if anyone knows the answers/corrections to the list of costs necessary below, please update them. thanks!
1. AMG brake kit: $620 + shipping + 3% credit card charge
2. Installation: $90-$150 (i'm sure this varies)
3. Additional parts:
(any nuts/buts, brake lines, etc. necessary?)

before i get harrassed for a low installation quote, id like to state that my $90 quote for installation was from a friend who owns a repair shop, not a Mercedes dealership. i dont know about additional parts or brake lines. if you wanted the metal wire wrapped looking lines you can buy them extra, but from what i understand the kit includes everything you need for installation.

The way I see it, You and I are going to need new Brakes sooner or later. Judging by the way mine are wearing that means pads & rotors - about what........ $200US???.
My C32 units (when I get them) will be remaining in the garage till it time to change these brakes out - probably in about another 5000 to 10000 miles.
Soooo....do it that way you get back a couple of hundred bucks or so.

true. ive thought about doing it that, and im sure some will. i wont have the patience myself knowing these sic *** AMG brakes are sitting on my garage floor rather than on my car so ill install them. but that is a great way of thinking about it. from what ive heard people are getting quoted for just pads, seems to me they would be saving a bit more money when new brakes are in order.

. I haven't had time to have my suspension installed still (Going on 3 months still 
) so that is main reason I am not picking up a set. These brakes would really fill in the gap in my 18's and they would look pretty. FYI: Don't forget that shipping is a bit expensive due to fact the items weigh a lot.

. Anyways... I am not here to flame you, but just because you want the brakes doesn't mean someone should end up being misled. There will be 10 people for the group buy within one week, no doubt and everyone will LOVE them. Like I said before, if I had time to have stuff installed in the first place I would be on this group buy like white on rice.

I do have the AMG brake upgrade [Evosport group buy], and I feel it was one of the best upgrades I've done for the money. I drive my car very hard at times; and with the stockers, I'd feel fade after 2 hard braking cycles from high speed [95mph]. After getting the upgrade, Ive yet to invoke fade...oh yeah, and they look great too!
