"Fit" means technically & physically...

No. Your best bet is Brembo BBK. Dont bother trying to retrofit the AMG brakes onto the CLS 500. It will take a lot of labor.

not sure about technically or physically, but it certainly doesn't fit logically.

I see where this is going......


Keep it real, we don't need any Fakety-Fives running around getting owned by Hondas, M3's and G35's.

I'm assuming you already have your " AMG 55" badges sitting somewhere at home.

Wow, relax guys, in fact I do have AMG package on my CLS500 because it looks smooth & classic with the body style.

And NOOOOO, I am not trying to "pose" my CLS 500 into 55/63 "thing". I just thought the factory performance parts are tested & proven so it might be my best bet?

I have been modified German cars since 19 years old, and I think this is the FIRST Mercedes looks "outside of the box". Mercedes finally catch up with other Germans in terms of style & sportiness... But seems like some owners' mind are still back in the stone age where my grandpa's 560 SEL with saggin rear suspension belongs...

Anyways, thanks for those who posted constructive comments

For the cost why not just upgrade your CLS500 with the CLS55 AMG?
Makes a lot more sense.

I could see why someone would want bigger brakes, but an amg exhaust on a 500? doesn't make sense. Like someone said above, if you want it that bad, sell the 500 and get the 55.

The CLS500 with AMG Package says AMG on the tips already. The only difference in looks with the CLS55 exhaust is 4 tips instead of 2. They both say AMG on it.

I think post people would pick a CLS55 over a CLS500, but in reality, sometimes it is not financially possible so the upgrade is not an option.

I agree with Adam@EuroElites... you're better off getting a Brembo Big Brake Kit!

Here are the kits that fit your car:
-355mm 4 Piston Front
-380mm 8 Piston Front (If you have 19" or larger wheels!)
-345mm 4 Piston Rear


Here are some photos for you:


(380mm 8 Piston)
