judging by the front rotors probably being heavier than the rears, id guess maybe about 45 lbs total weight savings...

no i didn't ask that. maybe read my post again.
i asked what the weight saving was, in lbs.
now yes, im able to convert kgs to lbs, but in addition, you only gave weights for the front calipers.
i asked what the total weight savings would be. not just for the front.

This price is a good estimate not including labor. You will also need the spacers and longer bolts for the front calipers to fit properly. Let me know if you need any help.

G55, a little OT but:
I wanted to install the Mb/brembo ceramic kit but it won't work for my ml63 due to the weightof my amg...
Therefore i am also going with the Movit ceramic 396x40 and 6 pistons
- How much if i May ask?
- on what car are you installing the Movit cf brakes?
#113
Hello new on here, just wondering if the hats on the rear cc rotors could be swapped with OEM size hats to avoid changing axles etc, I see this question has been asked before but no answer to it or is that for obvious reasons?

The rear hats and design are totally different so they cannot be exchanged. The rear exchange is not that difficult. However, remember changing to the CC brakes will require all new wheels as the offset changes front and rear.
#115
Ah right I see so the setup here is the best/only option really, would spacers correct the offset or would it have to be new wheels? I presume BS wheels used here would be suffice?

Stock wheels will surely fit.
There is a lot work necessary to make this work, not only the new fabricated mounts.
This is not a simple DIY conversion.
You have to fabricate different mechanical parts like e.g. caliper carriers (mounts) or middle plates of rotors.
Those MLs were modified in Moscow/Russia.

very interesting, Dads C63 may i know the front caliper & rotor part number? i think i will try front since it is relatively easy (caliper mount) any other parts shall i need to order from MB for front retrofit?

Are you going to retrofit only the front brakes???
I think this is not a good idea.... visually and mechanically!
