Question C32 brake questions

Can I use C32 brake calipers to replace my stock calipers, or I need to change the whole brake assembly.

And where can I buy C32 brakes besides dealer?

Thank you

are you running on c32 wheels?

because the c32 brake calipers are so large, there are not a whole of wheels that won't smack against the front calipers without the use of spacers.

i think a few c32 guys have had some issues using spacers.

The C32's rotors are larger than those on the other C's. So, it seems to me that the rotors have to be changed to match the calipers.

oh yeah. i forgot to mention that the front calipers may read "///AMG," but they are actually brembo brakes.

i say get a brembo upgrade somewhere and don't get such fat calipers, that way you won't have to get different rims or use spacers. if you use spacers, you probably will have to roll your fenders also.

the rear calipers are nothing special (at least i don't think).

Correct, the fronts are Brembo's and the rears are stock. However, the front Brembo calipers are far from Brembo's best. If you are going to pay the money for a new brake system, you may want to consider the Brembo Big Brake kit, which comes with a caliper almost double the size of the C32 caliper.
