OK I am most likely in, but can you make sure that Brembo makes the holes all sweeping from inside going out to the right on BOTH sides. If you dont get what I am saying take a look at yours. You will notice that on the drivers side they sweep back, and on the passangers side they sweep forward... So if you look at each side of the car they sweeps are pointing opposite ways. So you need to make sure that Brembo makes both sides sweeping from left to right going from inside out otherwise you will have one side not matching the front...

My guess is that Brembo knows what they are doing and when we say we want OEM factory replacments, they will make them that way. But it never hurts to ask, I'll have Kleemann call the rep on Monday and ask.

i take it these will fit just about any w203 C-Class w/ 17" wheels in the rear ?
correct ??

if so, i might go for a set....
would love to get the rear 2-piston AMG calipers to match my front C32 4-piston AMG calipers. Any leads ????

I think they said the AMG rear rotors will not work on non-AMG W203's. I assumed we had the same rear brake set-up, but was quickly corrected.

that's what they said about AMG front rotors.

anyway, i'll probably just go with EVOSPORT to order my rear AMG brake kit for my C-Coupé.

To clarify, I'm just saying that the AMG rear rotors are said to be a different size than our non-AMG rear rotors and will not be compatible unless you have the whole AMG rear brake kit. For this reason, the rotors being purchased in this group buy would not be compatible for us.

NOW this upgrade will work for me. I have the rear AMG calipers retrofitted onto my W203 . (i.e. the calipers and rotors are bigger and ventilated).

The 2nd and final order was placed Monday. We are looking at approx 4-6 to be delivered to your house. They are being custom made for us. And the delivery flow is as follows: Brembo ships to Kleemann > Kleemann ships to me > I ship to you. You can see why there might be a slight delay.

Sure do. The first batch have been made and should arrive late next week or early the following. There is a left and right side for the "sweep" of the holes. Rotors can be mounted on either side (to match the fronts) and it will not effect cooling. Here is a pic of our new rotor -

I hope those pics are reversed, if not then your sweep pattern will be going the wrong way on both sides compared to the fronts rotors...

The zinc "copper" color coating will come right off and they will be identical color as the front.

We actually had them remade and not zinc cromate dipped because appartenly there were portions that wouldn't wear off. Also, because they were remaking them, we had the direction of the drill "swoops" changed to match the fronts and we had them go with 3 drills (as opposed to 4) to match the front as well. This delayed receiving them by about a week or so, but it's going to look awesome! Looking to hopefully recieve them by sept 8th and start shipping out to everyone who ordered a set right away. We're probably looking at having them by sept. 15.
