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?

Thanks...

C55 comes with 17" & 18" (as optional), and depends to the vehicle order spec.,,

17" wheels will rub with (360mm) set-up for sure, should to go with 18" at least..

Zayed....

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.

That's good news and I thank you.

This is the research I did at the time ... https://www.dropbox.com/t/mMzzrd9fh2hzlqVC

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.

That's really good stuff, thanks....I'm certain the 360mm rotors will fit on the CLK63 AMG calipers without the bracket.

Here's a pic of my 18" x 8.5" front rims.

Your bride looks Genuine bro..,

noticed you have a Kompressor label at the fender, do you have "M113K"..?,

you already ordered CLK63 calipers, they comes with brackets, no need to get any other brackets..!!,

need to get CLK63 Rotors, and need to cut the protective shields to clear the calipers,,

everything else will be perfect..

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?

Rob

Oh, great..

OEM pads comes as (Brembo/Jurid), which is very good stopping power,

but so so so dusty, they will makes you pull out your panty to clean it every trip..,,

i'm really in love with "EBC" Red & Yellow stuff,,

they're super great, very less dust, i use them with all MB's i got, since around 10 years..

-;-ZAYED-;-

Robjr

Zayed......

Red or Yellow? Are they the same? I'll check them out.........

Thanks, again.....

Rob

*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..

Zayed.......

Thanks much........I'll let you know what I decide......

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.

Robjr

Spooky55...

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.

cm60k

Hey bro.,

This Brembo # "09.9764.23" for 08-10 "CLK63/CLK63 BS", with (360x36), and offset (64.5), which is not fit for sure,,

the correct Brembo # should be "09.9547.33", for 06-07 "CLK63", with (360x32), and offset (49.5)..

-;-ZAYED-;-

kaixdiego

ah I see! Thx Zayed!

Robjr

kaixdiego.....

Bought both rotors Brembo 09.9547.33 for $658 on Ebay delivered on Monday, 2 days later than seller stated. Installing later this week along with new calipers CLK63 calipers and new pads.

what are all of these from?

Mr Oversteer

Does your friend produce these or were they a one off?

cm60k

Yes, he make them, but depends to the brake setup..!

-;-ZAYED-;-

Mr Oversteer

I would like them for S/CL55 calipers on a C32

eurochargedw210

I think I will just end up with 171 6 pots and the smaller 360 to keep the weight down.


I really want to see if the 18in advans will clear 390 rotors

cm60k

If you wish, i can ask him, if he have them, or can make them as well..

-;-ZAYED-;-

cm60k

Sure bro., brakes from CLK55/SLK55 are a good choice to reduce weight,,

i can't assure that, but i think 390 Rotors needs 19" Rims!

-;-ZAYED-;-

Mr Oversteer

Yes please That would be great
