brake question

i saw a thread earlier thru the searches going from 500 brakes to AMG brakes but now im wondering what about the 320 guys.

well actually i was thinking about upgrading to the clk500 brakes. i might get a set for cheap. i see all the AMG brakes for like 1000+ and i dont think do that much aggressive driving to justify the use for the AMG. i know its go big or go home but this would be a cheap alternative to bbk?

i know the CLK320s have single pistons in the front and back. so i think the 500s are 2 pistons i know its not a big upgrade or anything, but i feel like that might be all i need

the 500 have 4 piston up front (brembos) same as the amgs until 2005...this is when the caliper changed on the 55 to 6 piston
