very very very and did i mention very nice...so are all the brake mounting points the same across all MB models...front and rear? I would have thought the rears would be different but then again cost savings would dictate they'd be the same.

thanks

blando, are the rear rotors the same size as the stock (they look like it since you still have the dust sheilds)? If so, then could you please find the part numbers for each side (I know you have heard this already).. Then if these are off the CLK55, you mentioned that you are looking into upgrading the fronts, are the CLK rotors the same size as ours and do they match the rears (x-drilled and slotted)?

Some additional information I found out today: The heat shield does have to be trimmed a bit to accomodate the larger caliper and longer flex lines should be installed.

I emailed the shop a few questions and never heard back... I wanted to know if the rotors from the clk55 will bolt right up to our current brake system, I like the xdrilled and slotted rotors they come with. I think the front rotors are the same size as ours, but the rears are a little larger. Does anyone know if these rotors will fit our stocks calipers??
