Front 6-pot calipers from SLK55AMG. Can I use 345mm brakes?

Thanks!
I was thinking to change color, but change my mind. Because car is silver, I think silver calipers looks nice, not too glaringly

is the braking improvement worth the price? This is an honest question not a dig.

big improvement while braking hard from high speed (e.g. 120 mph), in the city not too much difference, but it still is and very noticeable

No need, the brake master cylinder is fine, these brakes are fitted on the SLK55 and W209 CLK afterall.


Id imagine it would struggle with the 8 pots off the 55K engines, but those brakes don't fit anyways.

^+1^,

Besides; all "W203/W209/R171" sharing the same MC & booster, including "C55/Clk55/Slk55",,

don't see any reason to change them..

I fit them many times in "W124/W140/W202/W208/W210/R170", they perform great as well..

I know anything can be done but is it a bolt on. I have a 400e setup right now but they are cast and heavy. I have a project that I am working on that may require superior stopping power.

As i remember; 400E uses (294x25) Fronts & (278x24) Rears, while 190E got (262x22) Fronts & (258x9) Rears,,

i think 400E brakes will fit to the 190E spindles, but it may need little bit to balanced the Rotor in the center of the caliper, not sure about that..!

simple touch..

Yes, they will fit, you will need around (4mm) washer between the caliper bracket & the bolt hole in spindle, to balanced the Rotor in the center of the caliper,

and it will be approx. (5.5mm) gap in the Rotor Ring (that pad will NOT surface it),,

cause the center dia. of "C32/C55" Rotor Hat is (226.5mm), while center dia. of "Clk55/Slk55" Rotor Hat is (218mm)..!
