I want nice juicy big yellow Brembos.

How hard is it to do this and how much will it cost me? I know for our cars I would need to buy multiple brake parts from Brembo not just calipers...obviously I don't have much knowledge on this so advice appreciated

DCTMS has an AMG BBK for sale that's supposedly just a simple bolt on. Seeing as the AMG calipers are made by brembo it would be the pretty much the same. You should look into that.

Also want to make sure your rims have sufficient clearance.

+1. You'll want at least 18"s with sufficient clearance to fit a BBK.

Full Brembo GT kit will run you around $6k. The OEM AMG C63 calipers are made by Brembo, but they are not the same as the one Brembo produces for the w204. Here are some photos of mine on my C300.

6Kish is just for brakes. Custom paint and install separate.

And yeah, future maintenance costs would be more expensive if you go with OEM Brembo pads and rotors.

Will Brembos clear the stock Mercedes AMG 18in rims of the C350 sport package?
