Do C32 brake kits fit W208s?

On the website for Autowerksexpress.com, they are selling big brake kits from C32 AMG's and they say it can fit other Mercedes Benz models. The price is good, im mainly going for the look. Do the E55 AMG's have kits like this that i can buy online? Thanks!

The CLK55 has bigger brakes, but they are not Brembo calipers. I may have a customer with a used set soon. If you're interested, I can send him your contact info.

Ben, Do you know if the W209 brakes & calipers will fit our W208? The W209 calipers look a lot better (at least the CLK500)

I heard they increased the size of the rotors for the W209, would that effect the contact patch?

W209 calipers are leading. W208 calipers are trailing. Would require quite a bit of fabrication to make it work, including machining off the caliper bracket from the new caliper. Same goes for W203 (since the W209 is based on the W203).

Unfortunately, the 2 easiest ways to upgrade your brakes are going to be either the CLK55 brakes, or a big brake kit (which will outperform the C32 brakes anyways).

So i cant buy calipars alone? I was thinking getting Brembo or Zimmerman Rotars and buying calipars from mercedes. But i guess that cant work, i just like how they look and say AMG or Mercedes-Benz
