A few min. ago, I write this guy a message on Insta and I ask him for a set of these adapters. Can't wait to hear something from him.

I found a Guy over eBay who build adapters to fit AMG 6-pot Calipers with the standard 360x36mm CLS550/500 rotors:



He send me also pics from an other car which he did:




To me that looks amazing and easy.

The price was 355 euros, these are 410-415 US Dollar.
It's not a small amount of money, but I think with the standard CLS 550/500 Rotors, this is a good deal to me, because the Rotors are very cheap.
In the past I was buying EBC YellowStuffs Brake pads, but they are doing so much dust.. it's unbelievable and annoying. The performance was not bad but also not extremely special. Question: Does anyone know of any good brake pads, for AMG 6-piston calipers, that contain ceramic and don't produce so much brake dust?

The key to cleanliness is the "ceramic" compound vs. stock semi-mets.

A lot of forum members including myself enjoy the Japanese AKEBONO products.

They have a "Euro" product line... Double check if that includes pad for your 6x pistons calipers.
