Anyone done this mod yet? Thinking of doing my fronts with the SL55, 8 piston calipers and rears in the C32, 4 piston brakes. Any thoughts? Anyone done it?

Why don't you choose brake kit from tuners? The brabus has made a high performance brake kit for the C 32, it's all you need.

Bensitto,

While it is a good idea, it does not work without major modification including custom brackets and new rotors. Once that expense is calculated, you are better off with a Brembo or Kleemann brake upgrade. The SL55 rotors are HEAVY, whereas a 2-piece rotor from Brembo/Kleemann is much lighter, and should lead to better braking. You can find more info on this by doing a search.

Thanks,
Ben

Right, this's putting extra 180 lb on a C32 w/SL55 brake kits

I am pretty happy with the C32 AMG brakes. However I have never experienced Brembo brakes.
Someone who has expierienced both please comment.
Thx.

I got Brembo F40 on ex-C320, the price is 1.5X out of C32AMG
brake kits.
sharper feel & sensitive, think of its 332 mm rotor vs 345 mm/AMG
Good enough is my comment to the brake of C32.
Excellent is then for Brembo.
