New brakes
Hi all!
Just wanted to post my new brakes that I have just ordered, they are ;
370x35mm 6 Calipers in front and 342x28mm 4 Calipers in the back.
I ordered the calipers in black, since I've also ordered the 360Forged CF rims.
What do you guys think?

Is it just me, or are the brakes pictured for six-lug wheels?
I hope the ones you receive don't look EXACTLY like these ones, otherwise they won't bolt-up to your wheels....

They are 6390$ and I ordered it from

It's German made, and they are TUV approved, so you know it's good stuff.

Will update with photos when all is done, but it wount be until May, since I don't have my leave from my current contract in Lebanon until end of April. But who knows, I might be forced to leave early because of war by the way things are going here right now!
I ordered the calipers in black, because the 360Forged CF I ordered with a matt black inner lip. So I think that will look good, but I will post photos and let you guys decide for yourself.

Yes it is a bit of money, but they are still cheaper then Brembo, and the reports that I've read and heard says that they are just as good.

How well do the stock brakes work with such horsepower. I plan to have my car tuned to about 430hp, would like to konw if stock brakes are still capable for such horsepower.

I will dyno my car when I'm getting home in April/May, hopefully, and after I've installed Code3Performance HE, IC system, Spacers, new pump and maybe something else, I'm hoping to get about 500-550Bhp and 600-650Nm. I'm about 600Nm now I'm guessing.
But I will keep all of you updated as soon as I know more!

I dont think i have ever seen a c320 wagon. I was surprised too, when i looked in the interior, it had the recent update so I assumed it was a 2005 and +. What was weird about it it still had the twin exhaust not the quad like the C55.

Yes we have the C55 T in Sweden, I was very close to get one, but decided to mod my C32 instead. And I don't regret it!
So you guys don't have Any C32/C55 T model? Wow! How come that Mercedes don't take them in to the US? No market for them or what? Do you have the E55 T?

Jeez might as well pay a little more and go for ceramics with that price. Less unsprung weight. I think it would run only about 1k more, I remember the NSX guys discussing it recently:

Yes I have seen a few E55 T's and even a E63 T. But no C class touring, the only model was a C240, not sure bout a C320.

well the NSX guys were getting a set of 4 for about $9k, so about 3k more then.
