I have 14' 355 stoptechs on my car and they work great. They are planning to do some test fitting for the rear kit, as they dont have anything for my car now.

StopTech feels very strongly about balance Neal. They'll recommend convincingly against mixing and matching.

StopTech is great. I have OEM sized full stoptech setup for autocross, per the rules. I am working with Duane and Tim on a full BBK for my coupe. As I am considering the prepared classes this season, I am contemplating just putting the C32 355 on...

What wheels are the guys tracking with StopTech's BBK's running on track?

I see, but I don't see how its not going to be balanced properly. The AMG brakes on the C32/C55 and 03-04 CLK55 brakes are identical. There should be no issues with the W203 brakes on the CLK. In fact, I would bet the fronts their using for the CLK and C class are identical.

I think actually, the issue with StopTech isn't mixing at matching because of that reason, but to preserve the current balance by preserving the 'virginity' (lack of a better word) of a 'balanced' car.

I can't seem to find it, but there's a write up on StopTech's website, very good read on why you shouldn't just put the biggest brakes you can on all four corners for best stopping distance.

I don't care how many people bust off jokes because of your age. Great find, great link, and great comprehension of where it was appropriate. Good job.... SON...
