Same to you my friend, love your wheels!

Thanks brother!

One more from me currently #2's,Think I will change to #1 pads.

Great looking Paul.., are these aftermarket brakes..??

ZAYED,,

Pags what's the partsnumbers for these AMG calipers?
which AMG model had these, which MY cars were they fit?

do they come in different colors not only grey?

any cutting on dustshield when you fit calipers?
calipers were they bolt on without special brackets?

do you still use factory brake master cylinder for these calipers?
do you feel any dead travel before brakes react?

do you have MB partsnumbers for rotors and pads?

I don't think these calipers are AMG's, isn't Paul..?!?!?!

ZAYED,,

Can we get a picture of the whole car please(c43 with clk55 internals and c36 skin

Dennis,
Zayed is right.. They are 332mm Stoptech STR setup but with alot of extra mods,stoptech made me some un-anodized 7000 series Rotor hats so I could machine to MB factory thickness 5.6mm, then hard anodize them black to 50 microns to take up the fixing play. I also machined the "stoptech" logo off and removed 4mm from the caliper mounting, remade the brackets in 6061-T6 identical to stoptechs but 4mm higher to clear the swaybar.

There is no dust shield mods needed. If you want direct bolt on no mods then 355mm kit will fit with zero mods however offset with be -1.75mm more due to alloy hat thickness. I have told stoptech there 332 kit is no good for W208/202 sway bar clearance.

I have come to the conclusion there is no perfect brake upgrade for the C43!.

PJ, I was worried this would be asked... I have not finished yet haha

Currently have different design wheels front and rear, I've found the slight stretch on the front tire makes the shadow look like the front is higher than the rear, it is actually some 6mm lower you just cant see the top of the tire. this will even out when I install the rears.

If you look closely there are BS seats in there also.

I love how the car looks. I think its absolutely perfect


Some day mine will be there. I might be getting a parts car here in a few months(98 c43). Im really excited to swap over all the good parts and bring mine back to immaculate factory look

I personally wouldn't touch a thing Pagz, very nice C36.

Hey Paul, did you keep rear brakes stock..?,

if you can upgrade your side mirrors to 00 W210, it will be great..

ZAYED,,

Pj,Hookah, Thanks! a parts car will help but it is difficult to get back to factory new with used parts they are all so weathered now, all my door trims exterior had to be purchased new!

Zayed,I have been thinking about this a looong time and could not decide, is W210 same as W203 or are they different angle?

Today I started installation of the amg spoiler with 3rd brake light...now I have drilled the boot there is no room for uncertainty..but I am still unsure

The rear brakes are factory still, though I may change the pads to ceramic as they dust more than the fronts now.

Honestly; not sure about W203 fitment or angle..!,

i put W210 "3" times to W202, they will fit directly with perfect angle, but you will need W210 mirror harness to control them properly via internal mirror switch..

W208 harness may work, but not that sure..!

ZAYED,,

Paul, you can use "Akebono" pads, they are soo great & almost NO dust..

ZAYED,,

I had all my exterior trim powdercoated

The parts car is in really good shape too. Its under 70k mileage

Siblings reunited! My C280 next to my neighbors C43 AMG:
