Hallo! w208/55 brake upgrade
hey everyone how is it going? i was looking at replacing my pads and getting ss lines for my 01 clk55 amg and i saw how low my rotors were so i guess im gonna have to get those as well. i looked around a lot and decided to go with EBC redstuff brake pads and stoptech ss lines. i haven't done much tracking but plan to start a little once i upgrade. I'm not sure what rotors to get, i looked around but not to many say anything? what do you guys think would be the best? i have 20''s and you can clearly see through but the stock rotors don't look to hot i'm not looking to spend a fortune on brembo but i would like to get something nice. is there any other good alternatives out there? i was also thinking about stenciling the AMG logo on the calipers to make then look a little better

thanks

i meant stencil the AMG logo on the calipers black just so they stick out a little more. um the StopTech kit is just a little more then my budget, but i dont need upgraded calipers because the original are in good condition. does StopTech sell individual rotors for our cars?

I can get you hooked up with some Rotora products. I have their BBK up front, rotors and pads in the rear and ss lines all the way around.

the Rotora rotors look nice i just saw them on evosport. what would Rotora run me n average? how are they ghostrider in your experiences with them? since you have them installed. the disc italias are SUPER nice they are just a bit expensive, but if they end up being the best option i will go with them.

I saw EBC rotors on a website but it wasn't 55 specific only 430 so I'm not sure if that makes a difference. it was just something that i saw chappy, i didn't know what the quality on them was.

Not for a 55 rotor??? Never heard of a front being cheaper than a rear either. Remember the 208 fronts are directional hence the cost. The rears are not hence the savings
