I have c36 amg calipers (with logo) and want to swap it to my c180 and i dont know what disc fits there. I bought for front 316 mm and 28mm width but there is some space between pads. The machine shop measure 30mm - 32mm max width.
For rear i bought 278mm with 24 width vented but the mashine shop measure the width is 18mm.
Can you help me?

I can't find 316mm with 30 width and 278mm with 18 width. I want to know which early c36 wear this dimentions.The most important is to find the correct width.It's not problem if diameter is a little bit different.

You should get 95-97 "C36" Rotors:-

*Fronts (316x28), MB #: "210 421 17 12"

*Rears (278x24), MB #: "124 423 08 12"

I agree for the front.Thank you for the information.I was searching these days and i found these dimensions you have said...
But for the rear the machine shop tell me that it needs disc 18mm wide.That's strange?I have try to fit 24mm wide but it was bigger...What's happen here??Cn you help me?I saw somewhere in the net that maybe the rear brakes is from E320 wagon 1993-1995. (278x20).

Ah, i see,,

the Rear Rotor you need is (278x19.8), from "W124 320TE/E36", #: "124 423 10 12",,

i think, the seller mixed the "W202 C36" Front calipers with "W124 320TE/E36" Rear calipers..!!
