Thanks for all the comments. Not sure what I'm going to do next - maybe Quad exhaust, but would like to keep my Brabus exahust/tips. Need to find find some extra Brabus tips to do this.
Yeah it's all plug and play. I can post the part #'s if you want them. I believe these are from the 05-06 CLK55 and 07+ CLK63
Springs are Eibach, shocks are taken apart from H&R coilover units. This actually made the car sit a little bit lower than Eibachs with the stock shocks.
On the rear, the calipers and rotors were about 1500 for everything
On the front, I'm actually using the 03-04 CLK55 rotors so they're slightly undersized. The front 6 piston calipers are about 800/piece - might be cheaper, can't remember. The rotors for the 6 pot calipers are 1200 ea. which is why I did not upgrade those. I'll probably go with another manfctr for the front rotors at some point. So overall the pacakge was about 3100 not including the large AMG rotors. A lot cheaper than going Brembo front/rear and staying with AMG.
The wheels are 19's.
What kind of springs/shocks did you go with?
Nice brake setup, how much did it run you for the AMG parts? I like the wheels too, are they 19"?

I should have put these on before I took the pics. I painted them myself with spray paint ordered online, and they turned out a perfect match. They're a lot shinier than in the pic but I need to keep buffing out the clear coat.

Are you sure that belong to the Clk 55 AMG? My 2006 Clk 500 Cabriolet has the same exact caliber 4/2 pots calibers.

Do you only sell the front ? Ok I got some question for you ...what kind of brake pads did u use with your new calipers ? Can u use the same pads that was installed with your old calipers or you have to buy the 05 ///AMG pads to work with the new kit ?
