Hi all, I'm trying to find side-by-side shots of 030 front brakes vs regular amg brakes to see the size difference. Anyone have any? I tried to search with no luck

cls55

don`t have pics.,but i have them on my cls55 and they are larger than the regular one`s.

... this is 390 vs 360 mm , not the first 380mm 030 upgrade

^^ thanks man, exactly what I was looking for. Except do you have pics of the whole car?

What rotors are those? Did you have to modify the caliper mounting?

From the porterfield rep..search somewhere here...the only difference from a p030 and regular AMG is the rotor size is bigger the caliper is the same...The pics from Dyno show this....

dyno

so, not exactly:

a few ponts:
- those disks are original.
- car with 390mm is special installation. usually 390mm goes into cls63 with 6 piston calipers, while our 8piston caliper goes with 380mm.
- using same caliper you may have problems in that it ocntacts with wheel drum or spokes ..
- caliper is the same as for 360mm, BUT bracket is different.

btw, after studying all this, I am now going with real carbon SLR disks ..

ideal for me would be 370mm diameter (as the first slr) as it s not needed larger and it would just grow in weight ..
I already have a pair .. working on them (they weigh 6150gr each, hat included)
nonetheless, love also the look of new slr722 brakes in 390mm and 6 pistons...

This is a close up pic of my 030 CLS55 brake.

Also P030 package doesent come with Two piece Directional Rotors.... and the carbon rotors.....cost a Sweet Change...

dyno

no, sorry, but p030 does come in 2 pieces !

p030 above appears a 380mm rotor & 20" wheel.



ps: about carbon rotor I was wrong. weird but the 390mm weighs less than the 370mm ! .. just got it at hand and it is 5750gr.

Good info dyno.

So, you ended modifying your 8-pot cal to fit the 390 mm rotor found in the 63 PP?

Does it really make a noticeable difference?

dyno

I was interested in something lightweight and ... exotic enough
unfortunately when you go larger in dia, even with 2-pieces rotors, you get back nearly the same weight as stock 360mm disks, i.e. 15.6kgs ..

from this point of view, a good choice is CLS63 stock rotors which are 360mm but in 2-pieces

as I told before, I decided to worry only for carbon-silicon carbide.

now I'll play with these :

I have both 390 from 722 and 370 from slr : they are different produce/tecnology and that explains difference in weight.
must think about it .. maybe I'll end up putting 370mm on the rear. need to do custom support/brakets .. depends on my tech.
