Anyone with C32 Brakes.
Despite all the jumbo-mambo regarding leading/trailing issue, what has been your all around experience so far.

Yeah, I 've been waiting a while for reviews also and it seems to be very good and a damn good price. I may go this route.
Thanks,

sorry theine, I tried to send you a PM but your mailbox was full and lately, I haven't had much time on the comp.
To answer your question, I have nothing but good things to say about the brakes. I have about 20k miles on this set of pads and have experienced no chatter, irregular stopping, or any other problems with the system.
I'm planning on switching over to stainless steel brake lines in the near future, and I've actually seen someone who was able to mount them on the correct side (still leading instead of trailing, but with the pistons in the correct orientation) simply by using a slightly longer than OEM stainless steel brakeline. When I switch to them, I might give that a try just for ****s and giggles, but in its current application, I've had no problems...
sorry it took so long to get back to ya...

........i have had C32 brakes on my CLK for * months now. It is perfect. At $1500 installed, you can understand why makers of and sellers of $3500 brake kits may not want the C32 brakes to become more popular.

Just don't tell them it's for a 208 or they won't sell them to you.

the rotor (not rotors) weighs as much as the stock AMG wheels... (approx)

haha... at this point, I'm not even sure if the C320 is a definite hand-me-down, so I MIGHT just use it for myself on my car.... i think the wheels are begging for it... GIMME GIMME!!!

but yeah, you right... it would be a waste to install it on the C320 since the car's got stock wheels, so you can't see *****z behind it anyways...
I just hope Ben doesn't get pissed at me for using it on the CLK since I told him I'd use it on the C320... and I know how he feels about people using them for the wrong application....
