Just thought i would share some pic of the new brakes i just picked up from Sunil.
I will be installing them soon, as soon as i burn through the current set of brakes.

the fronts look like:





the rear:




can't wait to see how they will perform.

enjoy

WOW, those are hot!

6-piston, floating rotors and it is cross drilled AND slotted

damn, that is so nice. congrats man!

Those are some truly beautiful parts. Don’t know just how heavy they are, nor do I really care…

Only wish I had ‘em! We anticipate your thorough report, Harry.

Those are awesome brakes Harry!

smallstone

nice~~~~can't wait to see the pic.

Those are nice ! do you have any pics of the mounting bracket?

Harry Madan

the mounting bracket are on the back, i can take some more pic and post it again. they are a plug and play item. with little adjustment to the rear.

Harry Madan

Thx guys..


they are heavy, thats for sure, but they will look sweet on the car.

Do you plan to install yourself? I did with my STOPtech BBK and it was pretty easy.
just use plenty of loctite on the caliper bolts, because one of mines fell out.

Did Sunil provided any offsets for the 18" wheels that you're
gonna order?

rlee02135

they are actually lighter than C32 Brakes


Harry, you need new wheels for these to fit. What are you getting?

splinter

Are you referring to the calipers, the rotors or both??

Bor, those are somk'n!
i cant wait to see them in person.
Good stuff man

i thought you were out of your mind when you ordered these but now i understand why.

rlee02135

the rotors. calipers are a bit heavier, but in the end, the SLK brakes are lighter.

Those are wicked!!!

If I were you, I wouldn't wait to install them. You should be able to get some decent money selling your C32 brakes to another C class owner.

AWDman

so nice i would frame them and put em in my den.

good luck with install. keep us posted.

i could see those peeping (staring is a better word) out from behind my bremmas!

AWDman

Harry, you will not stop any faster. if the fronts are any lighter then you will feel a small improvement in handling due to reduction in unsprung mass.

ALL passenger vehicles have the capability of locking front brakes with sufficient pedal pressure. max retard is just before lockup (threshold of abs intervention). basically the only way to shorten stopping distances is to increase friction tween tire and road.

there is a whole other area of pedal feel , ability to modulate etc....that is almost entirely disconnected from ulitmate braking perfromance. i would be curious to see if the 030 hardware is better than the stck setup in this regard.

don't mean to rain on your parade - that's some magnificent hardware. i would buy them too- but because i track my car i would roast the silver finish to gold in 20 mins.

Harry Madan

Yes i'm going to install my brakes my self, with a help of a friend and his shop.

They will fit over top of my stock 18" AMG wheels, the whees i have on my car at the moment. it will be a tight fit. i did not get the offset but i can if needed to get the offset.

thx i did not know that these brakes were lighter then the C32, i think the calipers may be lighter but the rotors are for sure heaver.
I dont think i need new mages to make these brakes fit, they should fit over my AMG mags with out a problem, it will just be a tight fit.


Ya man lot of ppl thought that to begin with, but i really like these brakes and i have noticed my car loosing braking power on the highways from high speed braking. so it was an up grade that i was going to get no matter what, and now if i ever increases the power of my car i will not have to worry about stopping. ya I can bring them along to the next meet so u can take a look at them.

agreed, but the current brakes on my car are at the bottom end and are about to start squeaking, so when i sell the C32 brakes i will only be selling the calipers and nothing else.

Harry Madan

thx, but idont have bremmas, i got the stock 18" AMG wheels

rlee02135

ohh...you have the C55 wheels. it'll fit fine

the rotors are definitely lighter, they are 2-piece versus the C32 1-piece rotor.

Harry Madan

the silver finish on the rotors are going to be going in matter of min's too. it is just painted to help the brake pads settle into the rotor.
i think i will improve braking power in my car because i'm going to a bigger braking surface in the front and the back, where i was at a 4 piston braking in the front now i will be at a 6 piston, increasing the surface of braking on the rotor, will indeed improve the braking power i agree it may not be a really big significant increases but non the less it will be an increases and with the 2 part rotor i will no longer have any heat transfer, thus always have the ultimate temperature to ideal braking power. where the braking power of the car will stay constant longer. not like currently where the braking power starts to fade as they get hotter and hotter.

Harry Madan

Sweet another Bonus + lighter is better always

rlee02135

hes talking about the silver calipers. when you track the car, they turn out like this:
