Hey everybody! I have picked up a (new to me) 2016 c300 without the sports package and I have been browsing the forums and it seems everybody who has done what I want to do has upgraded to the c43 or c63 brakes. However I have found a great deal on some c300 sport line calipers, Everywhere I have read says that they are in-fact the same calipers just repainted and re lettered, But when I researched myself I found that everywhere seems to have conflicting information and I just need some concrete info on what size will and wont fit. I found on FCP Euro that the base c300 brake rotors are 300mm, the sport rotors are 342mm and the c43 rotors are 360mm which leads me to believe that the calipers between the c300 sport and c43 are not the same. If anybody knows if 360mm rotors will fit with c300 sport calipers that would be amazing, and if they do not I will just have to buy the 342mm rotors or just get c43 calipers. Thanks everyone!
