Please add about 1000 more euro on top of the total sum of front and rear parts for the lastest pricing. Conversion rate between $ snd Euro is about 1.32 or more than add approx. 12~15% on top of that for the US dealer pricing without installation. With installation people are looking around 7000 USD.

SLK55 [030]/CLK63 brakes are the same...and SLK55/latemodel CLK55 brakes are the same as well
The SLK brakes are not made by Brembo so the rotos are not available from Brembo either...DC used a different manufacturer for the SLK brakes (as far as I have been told).
SLK55 & SLK55 [030] rear brakes:
003 420 30 83 - calliper R: 327.92
003 420 29 83 - calliper L: 327.92
004 420 49 20 - brakepads: 99.14
171 423 02 12 - rotor: 116.88 each
SLK55 front brakes:
003 420 48 83 - calliper R: 415.36
003 420 47 83 - calliper L: 415.36
004 420 50 20 - brakepads: 98.38
171 421 01 12 - rotor: 439.55 each
SLK55 [030] front brakes:
003 420 68 83 - calliper R: 415.36
003 420 67 83 - calliper L: 415.36
004 420 50 20 - brakepads: 98.38
209 421 01 12 - rotor: 513.96 each
the metal dustcover plate behind the brakes probably has to be changed as well...ALL PRICING IN EURO

I have a set of W211 E55 brakes for sale if anyone's interested.
8 pistons front
4 pistons rear
https://mbworld.org/forums/sho...d.php?t=181327
18 inch wheels and modified brackets needed to fit the brakes.

Steve, are the part numbers you put up "per pad" or is it for a set?

Would the lines need to be changed for this upgrade also? I'm hearing elsewhere that is necessary also.

Sorry to bring up and old thread but couldn't you also use the brakes off a slk350 to then?? The mounting locations should be the same just a small caliper compared to the 55. I have a set of rotors and pads from my dads totaled slk, but i just need to know about the calipers being able to fit.

Damnit!!!! I really, really, really should've re-consulted this thread before finding out the hard way that the setup I purchased from pshek a few years back was NOT the 030 break package that I had originally thought!
So now, I have to take a personal day to deal with hopefully being able to exchange the rotors that I "thought" I needed, when in actuality I just had the regular SLK 55 brakes on my car!
I should've known, just by looking at them on the car that they were not the 030 brakes! Oh well, lessons learned.
Good news is, the rotors I have now are still 2 piece floating rotors...they're just smaller. And as far as I remember, I still have 6 piston calipers. Just a little disappointed.

Here is a pic of my OEM brake setup from my 2005 CLK55.
I was quoted 700 a piece for the front rotors.(Was curious)
As far as brake pads go, I cannot recommend Disc-Italia Hyper-Ceramic pads enough. Brake feel is improved, and there is NO brake dust.
http://www.brakeworld.com/ProductLis...od=CLK55%20AMG
Price is pretty good too. I can go a week of daily driving and have no brake dust. A fellow C55 owner, asked me how I never have brake dust, I told him, and he is ordering the pads as well.

There is a 340mm and 360mm disc version for the 6 piston calipers (and the calipers themselves are different).
The 03-04 CLK55 had 4 piston fronts similar to the C55, the 05-07 had 6 piston fronts. The 05-07ish SLK55 had the 6 piston fronts, and the 08+ had the 4 piston. The 4 piston versions followed with 2 piston rears, and the 6 pistons with the 4 piston rears.

i have the 340mm calipers on my slk32 with 4 piston rears 330mm rotors and the fit was so easy it shopuld have come this way
lenin unless you have the 360mm brackets on your calipers then the 030 wont fit your car. r/b rotors come in a 340mm that fits the c32 without any grooves forming on the inner and outer edges

i would like to clarify that the calipers are identical but the mounting brackets are different for the larger rotors.
i have the 340mm calipers on my slk32 with 4 piston rears 330mm rotors and the fit was so easy it shopuld have come this way
lenin unless you have the 360mm brackets on your calipers then the 030 wont fit your car. r/b rotors come in a 340mm that fits the c32 without any grooves forming on the inner and outer edges

You can have the OEM CLK63 setup front and rear for $4K from parts.com.
