They've moved to single piston floating calipers on both the C300 and C350. The rotors on the C350 are larger than the C300.

I never knew they were one piston floating, i thought they were two piston fixed, do you know the brand of it? coz the brakes look kinda weird to me.

I don't know who makes them. Looks like they dressed up the outside piece so that the brakes look like fixed calipers.

They are also a little easier to service.
