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.

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

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.

I hardly even use my stock brakes, I swirl around the lanes and release the gas throttle instead of breaking lol

I drive the racism out of BadDebt. ;)
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.

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

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.

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

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!

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.
