Swapping Brakes on standard 55

I have searched the forums and netted a lot of postings but none specific to my question.

I want to know if you can put the 030 brakes on the standard CLS 55? If so, what would it take?

Thanks

btw...if it helps I have a 2006 CLS55 IWC edition car.

THE CALIBERS ARE BIGGER.
SBC IS (SENSOTRONIC BRAKING CONTROL)The SBC braking system uses a microcomputer to monitor the
car and driver actions. In the event it's needed, such as emergency
braking, the system monitors brake pressure, and applies the
appropriate stopping power necessary, even if the driver doesn't
exert enough power.
SBC features a host of other features as well, including distributing
brake force to different wheels during cornering, to ensure greater
stability in the vehicle as well as maximum stopping power; the SBC
system even dries the brake discs if a film of water forms on them.
