They are way cheaper than the after market brembo brakes. these are just as good i mean they are brembos haha, Found some online for only 1300 but I need to do some more research to see how they would fit. and what kind of bracket and rotor size we need.

Kevwood

Over here I dind't have any options other than buying new, oh well, it'll get done eventually.

I think 6/4 would be too much for a 320. Lol I'm basically putting together 500/550 brakes for a car with less power. All for looks really.

Although I must say, our brakes are good stock. I'm on oem rotors and pads now. Some guy almost hit me, so I had to speed up to avoid him in the current situation, he wanted to make a right but didn't see me in front of him apparently. -_- then some idiot decides to j walk not too from this incident. So I had to slam on the brakes. Came to a complete stop in a matter of a foot between me and guy. Brakes saved my life and his. And no I wasn't being reckless

Kevwood

Yeah, the stock brakes on my 500 were just fine for the street, currently I have the R1 rotors with stock pads and the brakes are fantastic for a daily driver, we have lot's of close calls weekly on the roads here. Mind you, the brakes on my little C200 are also fantastic in stock form, they stop that car very well.

mikata

Yeah 6/4 are more than enough for braking power but me myself I'm getting them only for the looks
I hardly even use my stock brakes, I swirl around the lanes and release the gas throttle instead of breaking lol

Black_CLK

haha yeah honestly the 6/4 pot is just for looks, the brakes as of now already bite pretty hard. the Drilled rotors with 6pot AMG calipers are just so sexy though....

lowpost

e55's are not a straight swap - I don't believe.

Supafly

These won't fit unless you plan to make some custom brackets....change out steering knuckles...and move a lot of parts around.

Not at all...I looked into it...way to much money for a CLK320...almost a 1/4 of the price to retrofit 8/6.



------------

Most viable is 6/4 aprox 4Gs from parts.com for the Entire setup front and rears.

mikata

Thanks Supafly.
I'll go with the AMG 6/4.
I have a mechnic that can retrofit it for me for a good price.
As for money wise, it's just for the looks for me, doesn't matter if it's a 200K or 550.

mikata

lowpost, you got the 6/4 right?
What did you have to "do" to install these?
Thanks!

mikata

Exactly. I was the only one that had parked a car at the gym parkinglot yesterday and while I was training I keept staring at the wheels. Man the rotors and calipers look like sh*tSmall rotors and calipers.
But they bite pretty hard and performance wise they are not problem for me.

Black_CLK

Maybe if you just bought some Drilled rotors with the regular 4 pot caliper off a 500. then it would look nicer... hahah or go on ebay and buy some BREMBO BRAKE COVERS!!! lol just kidding.

mikata

Lol I would lie If I said I haven't thought about the covers. But that was when I first started "modding" the car. The covers are only for 6 and 8 pot calipers

Im getting drilled rotors, I just checked and there's something called euro certified vechicle, meaning I'm not allowed to change parts of the car including the calipers or else it won't pass MOT test. The mechnics might not understand that I have changed the calipers but I don't want to take that chance and have to reregister the car as "modified".

I might buy the 4 pot calipers and see if it will pass
But the 6 pot ones are too expensive to be gambling with.
But you never know when it comes to me

M-bENZ

for the 4 pot you will pass just told them you have AMG package ...it came with the car

mikata

Lol The dude that works with the MOT tests is my neighbour so I might still pass with the 6 pot Im really eager to go for the amg calipers mod. But it's 2nd or 3rd on my mod list. First quad!

Black_CLK

wow restrictions over in Europe are so intense compared to the States.

mikata

If you only knew how restricted it really is bro. It's crazy.

Black_CLK

I have a feeling that my 8K hids are illegal there.

mikata

Yup you're right But they usually pass the car if it's a newer one with OEM xenon. They dont know if it's stock or not.
If you would drive a honda civic 98 with 8000k they would fail it.
But to be correct anything with a blue tint is illegal
6000k would pass.

bheng

lol so i think im going to go for the ss lines for the hell of it.

but i noticed they come in four... lol please tell me that lines are universal and there is no difference between the c32 line and clk320 line -__-

dynomite05

I will check the EPC. I know that when I upgraded to the Brembos up front I had to use their SS lines. The Stoptech SS lines I had were too short.

dynomite05

Looks like the EPC shows the CLK320 and C32 share the same lines.

bheng

nice. looks like im getting stoptechs ^.^

mikata

I require some pics when it's all done

bheng

impulse buy: stoptech ss lines -__- cost me 108.

next up rotors for the front and pads. should run me 300 so i will get it next month or so. probably install them to brake the new calipers in on my drive to LA =D
