Looks like finally my AMG brake kit is ready for shipment, they where waiting for replacement caliper that was scratched. Randall said not to mess around with the bleeder position, due to clearence problems, so I canceled the long stainless steel brake lines I had ordered.

I left my stock brake lines, and it feels fine, unless your tracking your car alot, i dont think the SS brake lines are a must.

The brakes arrived yesterday and got them installed today, the AMG calipers won't clear my wheels.
The left one has a hair of clearance, and the right one has full contact.
The car is ready, but I won't be able to use it until I get spacers on.

theine, may I ask you where you get the 3mm spacers?

Buy The H/R Spacers Then Have them Cut to your specs
The H/Rs have the hub centric center for proper wheel mounting...NO balance problems...
I did and they are Sweet!

Yeah, they are 3mm aluminum spacers, but not hub centric, I had to spray a little glue to attach them on the wheel and then I could mount them. They are temporary, while I wait for my 18"s, then I won't need the spacers.
The C32 AMG brakes are huge!...my 17" wheels look tiny now, so I have no choice other than byte the bullet and spend the doug for the 18"s. I also put the drilled Brembo rotors on the rear, so it looks cool all around.
Sorry I can't post pictures, due to the stupid 1 byte max size.

I'm putting some of these on my car as soon as my stainless steel lines and porterfield rs4 pads show up. I figure with that setup it would brake just as well as the brembo kits. I'm putting the pads and lines in both the front and the rear. Should be sweet.....then I'm gonna do a track day woohoo
OH yeah these calipers/rotors are heavy as $%&!
26.10 lbs for each rotor!! But they sure are big!

you have the right idea... upload to benzworld, and link here... you just need to keep the pics a little larger than that...
