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
http://www.movit-scandinavia.com/en/default.asp
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. ![Smilie](https://mbworld.org/forums/images/smilies/smile.gif)

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.
