Brake Swap
Hey everyone,
I've been back and forth as to deciding what to do with my brakes. E55JAY gave me a great idea. He said I should do a brake swap from a 02 CL55 for my 02 CL600. What do you guys think? Would it be a noticeable difference from a performance standpoint?

The swap I was referring to was the 03+ 55 brakes and yes the 030 is readily available and an option 
I question how much more effective they are on the street over the 55 brakes, they are just a tad larger but not by much. I bet they really shine on the track with repeatability and consistency though. They arent that expensive actually.... less than a brembo BBK

W215 CL600
anyone has more infos on the 030 brake kit? I spent 4800 for AMG 55/65 brake kit installed, I think that's pretty fair price including all s/s hoses and pads, fluids etc. the Brembos are a bit more, but essentially the same (I like the AMG front calipers look more than the regular brembo). I spent more than this on my bike's brake 
I know.... the front radial calipers alone were 3500, not including rotors which were another $850 each
