CLS55: need to by brakes help
Good Morning.
1) I need to get brakes for my car and was checking is the Akabono #EUR983/984 are the correct ones for my car, also if I need the shims.
2) What are good rotors to get? front & rear. I'm happy with something that is like the stock ones.
3) Whats the best place to get them? & approx pricing. I found the pads on Tire-Rack for $144 & $108. is that good? Where should I start for rotors.
Also, I wanted to bump out the rear tires a little so they don't look so pushed in. I have the car lowered by STAR so I thought maybe the 5/16" or 5mm spacers would work fine? Don't shoot me, but I just happen to see some aluminum ones at pepboys
for $10 each.
Thanks!

thats a killer price on the akebono's the part numbers are correct as long as you do not have the 030 package.
As for the rotors, after you factor in shipping the price will almost be the same as if you wanted into your local mercedes dealership. Front rotors are around $130/ea and the rears are about $110. Once again assuming that you do not have the 030 Package.
As for the spacers in the back, please please do not use the pepboys style... get the correct hub centic spacers.... we carry the H&R spacers....
check out www.hrsprings.com
If you would like, we can supply you with the pads, rotors and spacers.

Thanks for you help James! Yeah unfortunately I do not have the 030 package. Also I just figured spacers are spacers, they just sat there for the ride. I'll give you a shout.
