2006 CLS500 with 55 AMG motor, 2008 Infiniti G35, 2000 Plymouth Grand Voyager
Hi guys. Getting ready to do some tranny work soon. Some say keep the 7 speed, but it's been so long without ESP and ABS. Installing the 5 speed would allow me to have ABS and ESP again. I've been researching building my 7 speed, and it can definitely be done.
Is the 7 speed really worth keeping vs obtaining ABS and ESP ?

Just converted to the big 8 piston calipers and the 360mm two piece rotors.
List of parts needed:
AMG 8 piston calipers
003-420-32-83 right
003-420-31-83 left
Two piece 360mm x 36mm rotors (or the cheaper one piece rotor )
219-421-02-12
Right and left front knuckle
211-330-67-20 right
211-330-66-20 left
The front knuckle for the CLS500 and CLS55 look identical, except for the mounting holes on the cls55 version. The holes are slightly bigger. You can buy used knuckles online using the part numbers above, or bore out the mounting holes on your existing knuckles to accept the slightly larger bolt to mount the 8 piston calipers.
They look good, and feel even better
