Tery, which Renntech performance package do you have? Any idea what your total H/P is? How fast is your car compared to a 430?

Roughly speaking about how much was it for parts & install?

Sorry, just trying to see if I can budget for it.

Okay, your mod looks fantastic and the price is in range... sooo.. other than driving my car to Vancouver... Can you tell me if this is sold as a "kit" or did you have to spec the parts individually or what?

I'm not trying to be difficult, but I'd like to get this done and have very little knowledge of braking systems. I understand what a cross drilled rotor is.. but beyond that..

So please, any details you could share sure would be appreciated.

Regards,
-Bouncer-

from what i know, those C32 brake rotors are 13.6" and 4 piston brake clippers. I think u can get it from any MB dealer parts department. but price might very from dealer to dealer. Hope good they break i really dont' know because i really didn't drive this car. But i guess other ppl on the fourm can tell u about that or u can ask the C32 owners. Hope this help.

They WORK, just not RIGHT... like lots of things. Wheels with 14mm holes and 12mm lugs. Improper offsets. 10" wide rims with 225 wide tires. And so on...

(And my 285 wide rear tires and 245 fronts on a W208... that's not supposed to work either.)
