Help! Brembo Brakes on C55 will work?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...spagename=WDVW


Anyone know if these brembo brake discs will fit the C55 AMG??

THey would look pretty cool on the C55, since the rear brakes are not cross drilled.

thanks

I went to the local dealer this past weekend and saw an 05' CLK55 w/ both front and REAR cross drilled rotors arghhh!!! in addition the exhaust now is quad tips like the C55, but w/ bigger oval tips!!! same w/ the SLK55 and the rest of the AMG line-up....and us C55 owners only have tiny *** round tips!!!! well, I guess if you pay $70k and up, they can justify the cross drilled rotors for the rear and bigger oval exhaust tips!! ...yeah, I'm a hater!! :p

05' CLK55 have new 6-piston Brembo caliper with 13.4'' floating rotor on the front and 4-piston Brembo caliper with 12.8'' floating rotor. I do not why they would not be used on C55s, maybe in 06'.

'05 MB CLK 320A; '06 BMW X5 4.8is
From MBUSA for C55 AMG:
Brakes AMG-enhanced dual-circuit power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes. 13.6" perforated and internally ventilated front discs with enlarged AMG composite 4-piston fixed front calipers. 11.8" internally ventilated rear discs with dual-piston fixed calipers.

Bigger front brakes, and 500s only have 2 piston calipers, 4 is plenty, plus the rear brakes on a CLK must be bigger because its a larger tire and weighs more

BTW do you think that the C55AMG for 2005.5 will get the larger brakes?
