I upgraded 6 pot calipers from a clk63 on my 2004 clk55 in the front.

Do I reuse the front caliper mounting bolts? there is a small bit of play between the bolts and caliper.

Wondering if the clk63 caliper bolts have a larger diameter shank.

Cheers

I bought everything including new bolts when I upgraded my brakes. No play.

same size bolts because they're screwing into the same hole....

betrezra

Ok same bolts. Good to know.

Thx

How much did you pay for the 63 front brakes if you don't mind me asking?

betrezra

I picked up a used set on here. Don't rem price. You are prob better off going new online.

Do CLK63 use the same rotors as 05 CLK55 ?

Tex5

Nop. CLK 63 have the same brakes as SLK 55 PP or BS

CLK63 got "360X32" vs "340X32" in CLK55/SLK55,

and CLK55/SLK55 got a smaller calipers than CLK63, to match the bigger Rotors..

ZAYED,,

Correct. The rotors are larger on the 63. The calipers are the same. The brackets used to mount the calipers are different to accommodate for larger/smaller rotor diameter.


The caliper bolts are the same (size, thread) but I think they may be different lengths.

maverik259

caliper bolts are the same length. The only thing that changed is the bracket simply seats the caliper 10 mm further from the hub to accommodate the larger rotor. Calipers are the same size otherwise. and you can fit a c55/clk55 rotor if you install a 2.5 mm spacer between the carrier and the bracket since the c55/clk55 rotors are 5 mm larger at 345x30 vice 340x32.

this is what I did to use the existing rotors since they were basically new when i got the calipers...

Klinh

Not 100% correct. The Slk55 PP (Performance package) came with the exact 360 rotors and calipers like the Clk63. I know this becaus I'm a current own of an 2009 Slk55 PP. On a side note, the Clk63 and the Clk63 BS brake are not the same.

cm60k

I didn't talk about SLK55pp or even CLK63 BS, i talk about CLK55/SLK55 with-out p:030,...!!

ZAYED,,

Klinh

The question were...


Then you explained...


But you left out the SLK55 PP infos.

cm60k

Where did i mention PP....?!!?

ZAYED,,

cm60k

For AMG performance package info.,

*German code: Z04, p31/R

*U.S & Australia code : -Z06AG, p030

*Rest of the world : Z06MG, p030/AW

BTW; go and ask the dealer about these codes info....!!

ZAYED,,

Klinh

What I'm saying is you should also give him the rotors SPEC. on the Slk55 with PP option too.



The answer to this question should be... YES on Slk55 with PP option and NO on Slk55 without the PP option.

cm60k

I answered the Charly's ques. in post #8, he didn't ask about any pp's isn't....

ZAYED,,

Klinh

Oh, so you're getting technical. Ok, he also didn't asked about the Slk55, so why did you included the Slk55 rotors infos.

cm60k

Cause "3" guys pm'd me about the difference between CLK55/SLK55, in same day that Charly questioned,

its been a chance to put this info. one time here,,

HOPE that HELP....!!

ZAYED,,

Klinh

And that infos is only 1/3 correct. 360x32 rotor on the Slk55 w'PP option.
