What options are there for brake upgrades on an 03 c230k?

 

You're very lucky!
*I* just created a brand new site. Yes, this is a site that *I* am 100% solely responsible for.
I normally charge $20,000 USD for 1 second access.
But, for you, and only you, I'll give you free access for a whole day.
No need for thanks. I'll send the bill for the usage taxes (those aren't free) directly to you.

This is the kind of stuff I'm more looking for.

Always need options.

 

Are you going racing or are you just doing it for looks? Almost all MB brakes are interchangable so you have a lot of option if look at other MB models.
Do us all a favor and go **** yourself.

 

I just want some better bolt on brakes. I don't know what other benz models will work for this car.

 

C55,CLK55, E500 etc. They're all interchangable.

 

Thanks, I'll take a look at them.

Yikes! Brakes from China? Fuggetaboutit!
Just get the 4 pot AMG brakes like I have
and Akebono pads. They are sweet!
Not my wheels though....the one's pictured are 19's.
You need 17" wheels minimum, which are my stock rims.

I ordered a set of E500 calipers. I'll see how well they work.

 

Youll need C36 rotors to work with those.

 

Youll need C36 rotors to work with those calipers. Check out Rock Auto

 

I already ordered those. I ordered for a 95, but I couldn't see a diff from 95-96-97.

 

My invoice says "AUTOSPECIALTY/KELSEY-HAYES EBR490 $ 9.31 each. When I opened the box the rotors were made by TRW in Germany. I chose this combination because they fit inside my 16" wheels with a 10mm spacer. If you have 17" wheel you might want to get larger late C230 brakes .

 

I've actually have 19" AMG knock off's. for wheels.

 

I put the mid-'04 brake set on my '03. Front and rear. Direct bolt-on. The mid-04 brake set are 4-piston front and 2 piston rear. You'll need the matching rotors too of course.. Great upgrade that makes a noticeable difference. I also put on the stainless steel brake lines which firms things up even more. There is a complication with the length of the caliper mounting arms. I can't recall but something like 330mm & 350mm and you'll need the matching rotors to accommodate. I bought a used set on this forum from someone who turned out to be a scammer and received one 330mm caliper and one 350mm caliper, which is how I know... The true mid-'04 c-class calipers are 330mm (or the ones with the shorter mounting arms). The ones with the longer mounting arms are E-class. As you will see, most everything will bolt up. Have fun!

 

My brake parts have all shown up, but it is currently 10 degrees outside and 30 degrees in my garage. I'll try and do this over the weekend when it supposedly warms up some.
