Rear Calipers on C32 AMG...

I test drove a C32 a few days ago and noticed that the front wheels has beautiful AMG Calipers, but the rear had dingy steel ones....is this normal?

If so, are there after-market calipers that would match the front.

Thanks in advance for your input.

yeah that is true. the rear calipers do not have the amg logo on them. that does suck. the new w211 e55 has the amg logo on both front and rear. just one other thing to add to the wish list...at least a duel exhaust.

The rear calipers on the C32 are nothing to write home to mom about. The E, SL, S, and CL 55 all have 4-piston rear Brembo calipers. We are currently working on a rear Brembo kit to be used with a front 14" Brembo kit. Besides that, there isn't much you can do to make it look better besides drilled rotors and caliper paint.
