Front - 17.85lbs - 300mm - vented
Rear - 10.02lbs - 290mm? - solid
#2 c32/c55/clk500/clk550/clk55(prior 2005) rotors (rotors are new, StopTech Slotted):
Front - 26.45lbs - 345mm - vented
Rear - 15.21lbs - 300mm - vented
#3 clk55/slk55 (2005) rotors (rotors are new, Front - Brembo, Rear - original Mercedes, most likely Brembo as well):

Some visual comparisons:
1,2 - clk55/slk55 front caliper vs w211 (almost exactly as c32) caliper
3 - clk55/slk55 rear pad (on the left) vs c32 front! pad (on the right)
4 - clk55/slk55 rear caliper vs clk320 rear caliper
1,2 - clk55/slk55 front caliper vs w211 (almost exactly as c32) caliper

People are yelling at you while you drive because you are driving like a moron in a busy downtown area of Toronto. I don't know how your buddy doesn't throw up with you rocking that car back and forth with your throttle. Honestly, the car sounds nice, I get that. But you really should calm down in those high pedestrian areas. Or get a room with your exhaust and make love to it.

Excellent pictures and information.
Crazy how much larger the AMG/Brembo calipers are compared to stock. I swapped our sport brakes on our w211 a year ago for AMG/Brembo calipers. I took a picture of just the calipers for comparison. The AMG are truly gargantuan. They make my STi's brakes look tiny as well.

I swapped out the stock 300mm brakes on my C class (same as CLK320 brakes) for 312mm w211 E500 4 piston brakes which fit inside 16" wheels. They weigh exactly the same.
