KSport makes pretty good BBK's on their ProComp series. I know those are the 6pot's so you will get a pretty big upgrade over stock. I'm not too sure whether this price is a clearance price or not since I remember a thrad about these going for almost 3k for the front set so the price listed on that vendor is actually pretty good.

If I remember correctly, the C350's have a 13.4in stock front rotor so you may downsize getting these.

Acording to the Ksport site they are 8 Piston Aluminum calipers not 6.

Yes it is. I have no idea why I typed 6 anyway. You can easily count the 4 pot in front and 4 in back.

These are a great deal for the price for those with C300's.

So what you are saying is that the rotors on the C350 are bigger them the C300??

Ksport is a reputable company. I'd prefer crossdrilled rotors.

The C350 has bigger front rotors and different calipers. It doesn't matter though because this kit swaps out both. As long as the mounting positions are the same on both cars (and they are) the brakes will work for both. These look a lot a like a Wilwood set I was going to have custom made.

Does anyone know if this price is comparable to the set offered by the sponsor?

Yes, exactly 1.1inch difference. The C350 w203 had even larger rotors IIRC.

Ok so the 13" will be good for the C300... But if i get them i will go with the 14" so the 19" wheels will not look to big.

well, I think the 4-piston fixed calipers on the w203 are overkill, the brakes on the w204 are more than adequate.
