Cls amg brake upgrade.
Hey guys. I have a 06 cls 500 and would like to upgrade the brakes. I was wondering if I upgrade to the amg setup. Do I need new mounting brackets? Larger rotors? Upgrade master cylinder? Or can I jus throw them on? Thank you

You will need the rotors. Brackets are not needed.
HOWEVER, the caliper mounting holes on the spindles CAN be smaller than the bolts on the AMG calipers.
My W211 was a bolt on, but the CLS holes were considerably smaller. So I simply swapped them out.
Also, note the caliper MAY touch the lower arm nut/bolt end. I had to cut the extra off.
