Does anybody know if the brakes from the w211 E55 can be retrofitte dto fit the w208's? I would love to do this mod.

It can be done, and has been done. Only drawback is that they're extremely heavy.

yeh, the weight is definitely a factor here. For raw stopping power you'd be better off with Brembo, Endless, etc.

I see. Just curious, how much work would it take to make it work? I already have Brembo 14" Gran Turismo brakes for the front. Just thought the 8 piston AMG calipers would look cleaner.

Yes, anything is possible. I fitted E55 w211 brakes on my w208 CLK55. The front hubs have different diameters so I had to get custom rotor hats made for the front. Do not expect this to be an easy task. There is ALOT of custom work that has to be done in order for this to work.

Here is my car in another thread. https://mbworld.org/forums/clk55-amg-clk63-amg-w208-w209/121379-amg-supercharger-my-clk55.html

That is AMAZING! GREAT work! How much power are you putting down with the s/c?

What about using the C32 AMG brakes? They are a direct bolt-on for our cars.

They are small. I already have 14" Brembo Gran Turismo brakes.
