C300 sport and C300 Lux have the same size rotors, difference is that the Lux doesnt have cross drilled rotors and a MB logo on the calipers.

that sucks

Really surpised they would have differenent rotor sizes. So when I get my wheels it's going to look funny. so a C350 stops much better I imagine.

So ready for an E Class coupe or an Audi S5

Why is that a surprise?, bigger engines require larger brakes, it has always been like this.

c300

There is such a slight difference in the two cars I figured they would be the same brake components. On the C63 it's common since it would have much bigger breaks.

Hi Vic, was the swap to the 320mm brakes from the 295mm ones a straight swap with just those parts you listed? There's nothing else to it except swapping the parts?
