Hey Brian, do you know if they would also fit a CLK500?

Where the Stoptech lines too short because of the bigger Brembo calipers?

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
Brian, what model number and where did you buy your SS Lines?
Thanks!

according to the fitment guide on ebay, they fit.

the username is propartsusa. these guys are located in socal. so you might be able to get them cheaper by talking to them and picking them up directly. i paid 49.99 +CA tax and free shipping. i can imagine they can go a bit lower if you want them picked up. lol lucky if you can.

honestly going to say for the most part yes. i will hardly use them for what they are meant for. i mean there will be times when they are used. some for fun, and some for emergency purposes.

right now im debating between blanks or cross drilled rotors. blanks are cheaper and i honestly think they are better than cross drilled. but the cross drilled look so damn good. lol

Blanks have more surface area than the drilled so they have more clamping surface and dissipate the heat better but the cross drilled displace water better. For street use, I would use cross drilled over blanks.

In the end it's really about the looks more than anything.
