Ditto on this, all you have to do it pop the front wheels off and look at the size of the directional rotor and caliper. My 300E wheels with snow tires would'nt even fit over the C36's rotor and caliper assembly. Albeit the C43 shows better braking distances than C36's, however, remember that the 1995 C36 owners also have to shell out $250 a pop for the directional rotors. Either way I know for a fact that my 1995 stops faster than most of the other traffic on the highway, same story for the C43 owners for sure.
