Hey guys, I am new to the forum. I am just wondering if any of you know the price and information on AP brake kit for 03 C32K. I am looking for F:6pot and R:4pot.

brabus uses ap-brakes and they have the 6 and 8 piston calipers to fit you c32 with min. 19 in wheels. they are NOT CHEAP, and i dont see why you'd want to change em. Your brembos are more than satisfactory

they are known to crack on high temp... jon here even had a silver caliper change color to a gold caliper... the right/passenger side rotor isn't properly swept if i remember...

amg club thread

The context in which Steve uses his brakes is foreign to you, and I don't think you can make this statement. For example, in an extreme situation, like lapping a race track, they will not resist heat forever.

Even the brakes on the new GT3 are not adequate on the track. Thats why Porsche recommends the upgraded composite rotors if you are going to track the car. Just shows you that any brake will fade or have problems in the wrong enviroment.

The stock brakes on the C32 are more than adequate for street and occasional track use.

Real life performance is a little different. If you track your car, I would still suggest steel rotors for reasons that would require another long discussion.

Is there a way to buy the correct directional rotors for both sides to correct MBZ's mistake?
Who makes the rotors? If Brembo makes 'em, they must sell the right ones?

AMG made the rotors that way to conserve cost...

Currently, there are not any rotor upgrades for the AMG brake system. If one were to take the time to have a set of directional rotors made, it would be highly advantageous to make them 2-piece at the same time. Of course, then you are already at half the cost of a Brembo kit + r&d costs, so at that point, it would again be advantageous to purchase a Brembo kit...

Interesting how previous posts seem to get "lost".

AP does not supply Brabus with its calipers. Alcon does. Their front and rear kit will set you back just about $11,000 with a 6 piston "street version" caliper with dust shields in the front with a 355 x 34 rotor, and a 4 pistion caliper in the back with a 302 x 28 rotor. Replacement front rotors are only $1,800.00 each.

hehe...i like the "only" :p ...needed that after a long day
