hello,

i want to swap my CL600 front brake rotors (360mm) in CL65 rotors (390mm). The caliper is the same but the brackets are different.

Does anyone have these brackets for sale or does anyone know if there is a aftermarket part that fit for this project?

If not maybe someone can give me the brembo batched number on the brackets. Any help will be very appreciated. THX a lot for your replys.......

Do you mean you want to go with (360mm), instead of (390mm)..?

i want to remove my 360mm and do a upgrade with 390mm rotors

cm60k

Maybe my friend have W220 S65 (390mm) brackets, or even he can make (390mm) custom brackets,

he got a shop, and made many brackets, for many brake upgrade application,,

if you can't find brackets near you, i can tell him to make pair (as required)..

that sounds good. It will be great if you can ask your friend if he has some OEM brackets for sale. I prefer the OEM version but if there are no brackets available in the next weeks i will take the custom ones.
Thanks a lot for your help......

I did this a few years ago on my w220 s600.
I used s600 brackets, longer bolts and some cylindrical spacers.
It worked very well, and the improved braking was fantastic.

Nick, thanks a lot for the tip. In the last months many many times i was thinking about to do this with spacers. But i didn't dare to make it and the german TÜV is very rigorous in checking vehicle brakes.

Maybe cm60k can get some OEM brackets....

Glad to see I’m not the only one considering upgrading w215 brakes in late 2019,

i have an idea I am trying soon and will report back the findings, I’ve not seen this mentioned anywhere

ctravis595

I ordered 2008 CL63 brakes for my 2002 w215 as rumor has it, these are direct swap from w216 to w215 and just as strong as the big amg brakes I’ve had my eyes on lately




Just a heads up for anyone wanting better brakes on the cl500/600. These have the same stopping rating as the older amg brakes we all love, but with bigger rotors and half the price




The only downside is I think the w215 amg brakes look more sexy, but twice the price sexy? I’m not sure

cm60k

I found a shop that sells many new & used MB parts,

seller got an original brackets, removed from 05 S65 calipers,

he needs ($330) = (AED1200),,

i told him for better price, but he refused..

w216 rotor and pad replacements will cost you a small fortune vs w215 parts. There is a reason why w216 used brake parts are so much cheaper than w215.

ctravis595

Oem yes, I’ve used aftermarket rotors before on these cars and they were fine

v8mercedes

Thank you very much for asking in the shop.
Wow, 330 USD is a big price. Is it possible to get some time to think it over?
Tomorrow i will let you know if yes or no.

Thanks again for the help, i appreciate that!

cm60k

Any time mate,

i called him yesterday, he insist with his price..,,

if you need them, let me know, can get them from him ASAP..

Thanks.....

v8mercedes

interesting project with the W216 brakes.... I am curious about it

I prefer the W215 brakes, i love the design with the bolts on the rotors

anton28

Which rotors did you use? As far as I know, no one makes an aftermarket rotor for a w216 AMG. Mind you this was 5 years go so maybe someone is finally making them now. Can you send me a link.

update:

first many many thanks to Zayed (cm60k) for his help to realize this projekt :


I picked up the brackets at the customs and 2 days later i got them back from the painter






Here you can see the difference between the 600TT barackets vs. the 65 brackets






After removing all the brake parts clean the steel sheed






Although the Brembo numbers of all calipers CL55K, CL600TT and CL65 are all the same is there a small detail which is essential for this swap.... the cutout in the inside (have just the 65s)








Lets sand the calipers to make the cutout







painted with the paint stick temporary







After all is fixed, ready to bleed the system






Finished





here the cutout.... now in the OEM look








Today i have decided to respray the calipers back to silver 744.
I love the stock look of these cars so much. The gold colour was a leftover of my tuning era ;-)




To be continued.........

ctravis595

Those new rotors look great

regarding my w216 rotor/caliper swap question, I bought used s63 rotors from a 2008 for about $289 shipped. If one was to search long enough I think a 390mm rotor can be found with a decent price, but yes a lot of places want $600+

Mercedes GLE is another car with 390mm rotors by the way, but such a new car not all places have aftermarket options available

cm60k

Great job mate, and Thanks a lot for those nice pics..,

you are really smart to catch these hidden lines in S65 calipers,,

Gold is kinda nice, but also Brilliant Silver "744" is amazing, when your car is dark, such "gray/Blue/Red/Black"..,,

Anyone know the part number to these brackets/spacers? Or have a set for sale? Thanks Mick

leadinghamj

hello are you able to source more of the brackets for the front? I am upgrading to 390mm as well. Let me know?

AMG_55_cruiser

no source. I’m just going to use spacers and longer OEM bolts. Going with aftermarket lighter 2 piece rotors

Good luck.
