Limited edition Alcon BBK for W204
Hi guys,
As the new vendor on MBWorld.org let me introduce myslef. My name is Dan, and I'm part of sales team, and part-owner of JDL-brakes, one of the biggest European distributor of Alcon brakes and clutches
In cooperation with Alcon UK, we prepare limited edition of big brake kit for Mercedes C Class W204. This kit will be limited to one hundred sets in two color options only, and offered exclusively by us.
I'm not going to spam on main C Class forum, because it is not my intention. Since Monday we start with our own forum here. Now, I would like to check US market, and make sure what people from MBWorld community think about it.
I know, that one of the most important aspect ( except of quality ) is price.
We target for special price $2950 shipped by UPS Express, and 20% discount for all replacement parts like discs, pads etc. for all of those that order limited edition Alcon brake kit for W204.
The brake kit is from Alcon Advantage Extreme range.
It comes with:
6 pot monoblock calipers,
365 mm 2 pieces brake discs,
brake pads,
braided brake lines,
full fitting kit.
This kind of kit, worked excellent on each other car, that we have supplied for last two years, including track cars ( if proper brake pads are used )
If you haven't heard anything about Alcon brakes before, I recommend to visit Alcon UK website
For almost 30 years Alcon supply brake systems for OEM cars ( Audi, Bentley, Jaguar, Noble and many more ) Tuners ( Brabus ) Performance Aftermarket cars ( huge offer of top brake kits for street cars ) Motorsport ( WRC incl. Citroen team, Nascar, V8 Supercars ) and may more.
I much appreciate for any feedback
Some more details about this kit you can find at our website :

Regarding PM what I receive :
Standard caliper finish is silver. We consider whether other color should be red, or black. Any suggestions ?

I am sure they function as beautiful as they look, but I cannot imagine anyone spending 3 grand on front brakes for a car at this level....Is anyone considering this kit?

I wonder if installing gigantic front brakes is going to create an imbalance.

I had the Alcon/ Stasis BBK on my Audi A4, I can tell you they are as good as or better than any Brembo kit I ever tried. That being said I would feel less inclined to drop the money on this kit seeing as its only a front kit. A larger rear rotor and caliper spacer is a must for the bias to work correctly. The difference between stock rears and this Alcon kit is too great to be of much benefit. My Alcon kit had 14 1/2 inch front and 11 inch rear rotors and used the rear caliper with adapter brackets. It should be a simple add to offer a rear kit for our cars.

discs - Advantage Extreme discs have been engineered to produce optimum bite, thermal stability and durability in an exceptionally high strength to low weight design. This has been achieved by combining a special Alcon developed iron alloy disc with an aerospace specification alloy bell. Other disc benefits:
Unique crescent grooves on friction faces provide the bite usually associated with drilled discs without the attendant durability problems
Directional curved cooling vanes for optimum cooling performance
Alcon's floating disc system (as used in the majority of applications) has been designed to allow thermal expansion of the disc throughout its life while minimising the tendency to judder
