Question for those with W209 CLK55 rear brakes

I'm thinking about doing this but I'm not sure what parts I need. Is it just the caliper & pads or do I need to buy everything else? I bought a set of drilled rear rotors for the W203... are those the same? or are the CLK55 larger? Thanks for any input.

Yeah... that's what I wanted, but it looks like I'm going to need 6-piston calipers on the front to properly balance the braking...

I'm OK with the brakes, it just that rear rusty caliper pissed me off everytime I see it through 18s... I'm sure it's worst on 19s.

I'm just going to paint the them silver and replace the rotors with drilled ones... that should make it look decent.
