so heres the price....... 2500 installed..... 8 piston 14.2" brakes .... this is the installed price that comes with all the crap like brake pads and ****. they use 4 brake pads on each so yeah its pretty crazy.

this install price is for w203 and w210.

if you live out of state the kit can be shipped to you. if the kit is being shipped to you, it will come pre modified so that it should bolt right up to your car.


the rear kit pricing is being worked on.....

also you must have 19" wheels to clear the brakes or have the special 18" amg ones that are curved around the brakes.

thats a great price. Are the parts used or new? Where is the shop that does this, socal?

If the wheels clear the C32 caliper, will they clear the E55 caliper?

Do u know how much the c32 front bbk is with install? I'm thinking about doing c32 front and e55 back (maybe at tws). I have a V6 so I don't think i really need the e55 front. Kinda overkill for me, but I have to say they look sweet. Are they better than brembo GT?

Actually, the Brembo GT for the C-class is only a 4 piston. The only big advantage i would say it has is that the rotors are much lighter,.

So crazy!
Wow! So....like how much do the rotors weigh?
I mean like the C32 rotors are over 30 lbs.
And the higher mass allows them to absorb more heat I'm told. 4 pads? It's just plain evil!

You can never have too much break or motor!!!

for $2500 installed, why would you want the Brembo GT kit. Buy lighter wheels with the money you save.

What mods are required for E55 Breaks to fit?

if you mean what is needed to make it fit , all that is needed is the special 18" amg wheels , or anything 19"+.

if you mean how to make it fit.... umm all i know is it took a few days to do my car, but they figured it out now and it should only take a few hours on any other car .

So 2500 for to get these on a W203 but what about using these on a W211, a '03 E500 to be exact?

Would it be slightly less since there would be no modification required?

if the kit is a direct bolt on, it will obviously not cost as much, but at the same time would not be much cheaper. maybe a 100 or 200 less.
