Zayed........
Great! Thanks a lot. Quick question....I have 8.5" wide front wheels with a 32mm offset. Do you know if the wheels are wide enough so the 360mm rotors will not rub without the Clk63 AMG bracket?
If not, can you pm your price for the two front brackets?

I do have 18" wheels with 8.5" width fronts. You're saying I will not need your bracket since my wheels are 18" and 360mm rotors will have adequate clearance.
I did 360mm front. The stock front wheels clear the 030 brakes by fractions on a millimeter. I ended up getting an optional AMG wheel available from the W203 accessory catalog at the time. I think I did mine sometime around 2008.

Thanks for the compliments........I'm the second owner (bought in mid-2006) and, consequently, the 1st owner installed the V8 Kompressor badge. He was 1/2 right since it is a V8.... lol
I was unaware the bracket was included so thanks for that valued info. But that makes sense since you can't buy it separately from MB. Not listed in EPC and confirmed by my MB dealer wholesale parts guru. Today, I'm buying Brembo's 360mm rotors Part # 09.9547.33 and will get them Tuesday.
Over the years, I've been buying OEM brake pads which have minimal dust and, since I don't track my car, they work well and do last. There are pros and cons on various after-market pads. What do you use and recommend, Zayed?
*Red stuff are ceramic pads, used for normal street, suitable of repeated heavy street brakes, and very low dust.
*Yellow stuff are heavy carbon/ss, it's for street & track racing, more strong for heat resist. and repeated heavy brakes, little bit more dusty than Red stuff.
both are super great, depends to your application purpose..
I'm running yellow stuff on my C55. AWESOME stopping power over OEM from cold with no discernible fade (street use), but they are VERY dusty compared to others I've used. No experience with red.

Hi.......thanks for the response.......I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use ceramic pads......It'll take a few more days of due diligence before I make my decision. Anyone else want to contribute their experience, opinions, etc?
Just an FYI for additional options on rotors related to this thread...
There is also Brembo part number 09.9764.23 which is specified for the CLK63 Black Series. I don't know what the specs are for this number in comparison to earlier mentioned 340/360mm, but I do know they can be found also for around $300-350 online.
