Im in the same situation..Need new brake pads and rotors..HMMM

I bought drilled rotors for my 430 on ebay... brembo drilled rotors to be specific... I am happy with them and I have noticed that I have less of a brake dust problem since I have changed the rotors.... I use stock pads from the dealer

How much did u buy your brakes for from ebay?

clkal

I got some brembo blanks that were cross drilled and semi-metallic pads, front and rear for under 600 installed. My friend got the exact same set-up as mine and has been having problems with the car shuddering when he applies the brakes at high speeds. I didn't have ANY problems w/ my set up at all.

So I guess you just have to be cautious about buying the cross drilled brembo blanks which are being sold on ebay for so cheap.

I'm also interested in changing my pads and rotors off my 55.

Does anyone know as well if the new style AMG brakes (silver with AMG logo)
can be retrofitted for a W208?

Are those rotors from Ebay real Brembos?

clkal

they are authentic BREMBO BLANKS, but are cross-drilled aftermarketly (if that makes sense???)

But yeah, I've seen the C32 AMG brakes fit on our W208s w/ no problem. I think the calipers will just be kinda upside down. or backwards ....

someone correct me if i'm wrong please.

clkcrazy

Can you link me to the ones you bought from ebay. Im gonna probly get the same ones you got..Thanks

clkal

no problem.... but after hearing what I told you about my friend's car w/ the exact same set-up having major issues, i don't know if it is a good idea to go w/ these.

All I am saying is that i never experienced ANY problems w/ my set-up.

here's a link :http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/MERCE...spagenameZWDVW

Ive been waiting on mine to wear out for a while, im thinking about getting porterfield brakepads, cryogenically frozen/slotted rotors, stainless steel breaklines, and a better brake fluid (so it doesnt overheat at the drop of a hat)

C32 front brakes fit without a problem and they are in the correct orientation (not backwards or upside down or anything like that). Alot of people on this forum have done this mod

BklynBenz

blackbenz, did you win those brembos on ebay a few weeks back? install them yet? pics?

or am i thinking of someone else?

blackbenzz

No, I lost. Someone outbid me at the last second! I HATE IT WHEN THEY DO THAT!!!!!!!!!!! So for now I just ordered drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads that will be coming in on wednesday and I also ordered a Lorinser decklid spoiler that I wll be picking up form the body shop today. Were you at the AMG weekend in Jersey cuz I didnt see any other clk's there.

BklynBenz

i was there but got there around dessert time and came in fazooleys cls due to a blowout in the am

ctrider

how much are these C32 amg calipers and do they work with the stock brake pads, also do you lose performance when compared to stock brake calipers ? ? ?

King320

Is what these guys are saying on ebay about slotted rotors killing brake pads true?

BklynBenz

do a search and youll see tons of info on this topic.

blackbenzz

You have to buy rotors and pads (not too expensive) with the C32 brakes and it INCREASES perofrmance!

I also need new pads and rotors for my clk430. What is the biggest size of rotor I can go with stock calipers, 19"wheels?

blackbenzz

Unless you get bigger calipers you have to use the same size rotors.
