The tarox discs are really well made I'd say there better than the brembos

I like the way those look, hopefully they hold up really well too-price doesn't seem too off base either. Do they have a matching pair for the rear?

Did you replace the disk to hat hardware or just re-use the originals?

Hi there off SLK55 AMG R171 chassis you have to cut the sway bar to allow for full steering lock

And reposition the sway bar (anti roll bar for our US friends ) fixing bracket too, if I'm not mistaken
Also if the brackets are closer to the middle line of the vehicle, it should stiffen even more the sway bar, if I remember some basic physics

Will this rotor/ caliper combo fit under the 18" Monoblock rims?
