OH yeah these calipers/rotors are heavy as $%&!
26.10 lbs for each rotor!! But they sure are big!

i wonder why MB are using such heavy setups on their AMG cars... a floating caliper system would obviously shave off unnecessary weight...

The wheels won't arrive until after 3/15, so I have time to decide, but so far I am leaning towards 18's, the CLK is a small car, and I think they look better, but that's my personal taste.

Listen to Danny and go with 19's!!! you wish you had if you go with 18's.
Just curious are the roads that bad that you need 17's? 19's are not that much different.....I mean you already have suspension so the wheels won't make 1/3 diff that did.
I think my wheels are the perfect ones to show off those new calipers/rotors! I can't wait to put them on!!!

I'm gonna keep my stock rotors for the rear at the moment. It is easy enough to swap out some x-drilled later.

Here is a preliminary Pic........ putting the lines on today and my pads will be in tomorrow from Porterfield.

PS why have I not read anywhere that the rotor set screw (the one that just holds it in place till you bolt your wheels on) does not fit........it isn't an issue because once your wheels are on it becomes useless, but I guess no one has done this mod themself.
