just did my brakes!

for my clk430
all right everybody, just did all my brakes and rotors and everything was a success.
cost me a total of 240 dollars for everything. i am so happy because the dealer wanted 800 dollars for the whole job.
must say that it was pretty simple just a little dirty though.

if anybody need some advice or help, i'll be glad to help because there were no detailed threads on this site for a brake job. the DIY thread on the mercedesshop forum was helpful but it did not have any info on the rotor change.

Glad to hear from another DIY'er.

Did you upgrade your pads and rotors?

I just got my AMG C32 brake kit, (rotors, calipers and pads), my mechanic is charging me 2 hours = $140, I think is reasonable.

if you go to a dealer, i think it's 190 for 2 hours.
i think you should just do it yourself
