Will the AMG 030 floating front rotors from a 2003 and up SLK55 or CLK55 fit on my C55 with the stock calipers? or, do I have to get the six piston front 030 AMG calipers to make this work?

I now want the front rotors to match the rear rotors (i.e. drilled and slotted) and I want the lower weight of the 030 front rotors but, I do not think that I particulary need the six piston front calipers.

Thanks,

Just beautiful man. Can't wait to see them on the car...

i think they will fit, but the full surface of the rotor will not be used, so it will look bad, ur have this shiny portion that the calipers are using and then the other non used portion that will either show rust or the silver paint.

ya me too, i just got my car back last weekend and i will be putting the brakes on this weekend. (if everything goes well)

Will they fit my car too?

ya the will fit ur car too, u need a min of an 18" AMG wheel to clear the new calipers

So how long you have now before you get them installed?

I truly can't wait to see them on your car cause thats one of the first mods i will do, So there should be no problems clearing the Twin Spoke AMG wheel for sure right?

i will hopefully install them this weekend, if i dont have to go out of town. ya they will have no problems clearing the Twin spoke AMG wheels as long as they are 18" minimum.

The 030 floating rotors won't fit because they are 14"(part #209 421 01 12), but the -030(stock slk55/clk55 2005/2006) floating rotors will fit because they measure 13.6 (part # 171 421 01 12)just like your stock disc, the only difference is this rotor is 1.25" thick as opposed to 1" thick on your stock rotor(203 421 09 12). And they will stop so much better since they are composite.

Thanks, I will shop around for a set of "-30"? (stock slk55/clk55 2005/2006) floating rotors (part # 171 421 01 12).

And have them installed. Any leads on good places to buy?

Thanks for saving me from getting a missmatched rotor. Your brakes do look fantastic!!

How do you plan on handling the backing plates?

Best place is oempartsdirect.com

the only one that i need to adjust is the rear, i may cut it or just order new plates ones off the CLK63 or SLK55 (030)

some bad news, my car may be going back in the shop this weekend, so i wont get a chance to put the brakes in the car this weekend. the car's hood is getting re-painted and some other adjustments are being made. so i will install the brakes as soon as i get my car back again. sorry i know it really sucks i'm dying to put the brakes on the car.

Those brakes are sweet - I concur, can't wait to see 'em installed.

I'm due for a brake job w/ my C32 but price is likely going to keep me from upgrading to a BBK (unless anyone has a used set they're looking to get rid of!) - I've read positive reviews of EBC Redstuff pads, so I'm pretty much sold on those F&R, but I'm having trouble sorting out rotors. My question is, when looking on websites like brembo.com (part # 25766) or the rotors on performance products, are these OEM rotors cross-drilled like the stock rotors? If not, is there a good supplier to get the stock, cross-drilled front rotors from?

Thanks for the help!

thats sexy, what car was that originally for?? is that an up grade for the 32? is that a dealer item?

Brembo makes the brakes for mercedes, so if that is the part # they have give u for the rotors that will fit ur car, i'm sure that they will be the same as the stock C32 rotors, if u have any questions u can call them and they will ans ur questions for u



they are OEM benz part off of the CLK63 or the SLK55 (black series with (030 package)) this is a big upgrade from the original C32 brakes. and yes it is an OEM dealer Item

how much did this set of brakes run you if you dint mind me askin.

$4500 us

Thanks for the info Harry, Good luck Hope everything goes well

My car is a c-coupe C30 CDI AMG.
Last week the brake upgrade came true.
Finally my sportcoupe has new big AMG brakes.

Thanks to everybody for the information obtained from this great forum, especially Rubensans, Harry Madan and Steve MBenzNL.

This model had the same brakes as a c32 at the from but only a 300mm not ventilated disc at rear (as a normaly c-coupe).

Now is time to enjoy!!!

Thanks a lot!!!

It look very sweet !!!

Congratulations.

Best Regards.

VERY NICE! POSTS PICS WHEN YOU CAN. WHAT WAS THE COST? PM ME IF PRIVATE. ALSO YOUR CAR HAS BEEN COMING OUT PRETTY NICE SINCE YOU STARTED. ALL YOU NEED NEXT ARE CLK GRILLE AND FLAT HOOD EMBLEM FOR NOW. I THINK I REMEMBER SOMEONE SAYING IN A THREAD THAT OWNERSHIP IS ONE COST BUT THE MODDING IS ANOTHER COST(SOMETHING LIKE THAT)...LOL

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!
