Big difference, very smooth and strong braking, with no noise. Brake dust is there, but not as much. It washes off realy easy due to the smooth coat of paint.
The factory calipers had a different finish on the metal, and I noticed that brake dust kinda stuck to it and stuff. It was very hard to clean.

cost me $5,800
They were silver, but I had them painted white, then I ordered the Brembo logo in red from Brembo.

the system is 4 piston, with 14" rotors. still a big difference compared to the factory set up.
The rear Brembo caliper is as big as the factory front calipers.
the Mercedes OEM system is still very advanced, but I am very impressed with the performance of the Brembo system.

I've seen it done to a black CLS in this area, and it looked realy nice.
If you paint it Red, I would try to paint the MERCEDES logo back on, so that it would look official.

yes, that is normal. The factory brake system is made by Brembo. You can see the Brembo logo on the back of the OEM caliper.
