However, I think I found a much cheaper option for the front brake rotors than any that have been covered here, so sharing it with the audience.

I sourced 6/4 piston brake calipers from an non 030 package 2006 SLK55. The process was a relatively straightforward bolt-on project which cost me approximately $1,800 in parts. Below are the parts I used:

SLK 6/4 piston calipers (salvage parts $1000)
Front Brembo rotors (Amazon $250-$280/piece) part #09.9254.33
Rear Bosch rotors (Rock Auto $63.99/piece) part #36011506
Front pads Centric (Rock Auto $29.79/set) part #10411160
Rear pads Centric (Rock Auto $20.99/set) part #10409840
Motive pressure bleeder (Amazon $60)

This was a true bolt-on project. The only modification needed was to the rear dust shields, where some material had to be cut away to fit the larger calipers. I am extremely happy with the results and cost of the parts. Took me over a year to do the research and collect all the parts, but the final result was well worth it.

If anyone is curious about the AMG wheel shown, it's a C63 wheel with spacers.

Thanks to the board for all the good information.
Hi
You have the parts number of your SLK 6/4 piston calipers?

I just acquired a full 340mm setup from an SLK, rotors and all, but I'm missing one critical part that I can't seem to find on any parts diagram: the allen head bolts that secure the front calipers to the brackets. Does anyone have a part number for them or at least the proper size/thread/length? Since everything is aluminum, should I worry about finding Grade 5 or better hardened bolts?

There are two part #s of those (M12X1.5 with 72mm length) allen head bolts:-


(A0039901205) or (A0039907905),

both are the same part #s..

What's the difference between the 6 pot W205 caliper vs the 6 pot CLK63, if you want to run the 360mm. I understand they both need adapter brackets, and the w205 caliper is cheaper/ easier to find.
