2012 E550 Coupe
Can you provide more info? Namely:

1) Are these simply a swapable part? i.e no messing around with cutting etc?
2) How much for these?
3) Any noticeably increase in stopping power? The 2012 E550's already have massive front brakes

The brembo is also nice, since it is same as AMG brakes, the price of the brakes is same as what you see the AMG brakes out there (this front + rear brakes set is made for C63 AMG), only that the "gold" color is only originally for SLS AMG with carbon ceramic brakes, so I custom painted my brakes.
By the time i was thinking, since my 350 cabriolet is red exterior then usually will choose red brakes, just my personality wanted different and at that time there was a popular movie "avengers" and thought that gold would match the red, as well as "iron man"....I dunno what I was thinking, but i am not regret I love it~
I am not sure about the 550, because never tried before, my country didn't sell the 550 type, sadly cannot do comparison, but I am sure it already have massive front brakes. The 350 type also already have a nice braking system, I only changed it because looks better but don't want to adda case instead because consider the safety and the quality.

Here was my ideal color:

Actually, I think you did a stellar job matching the color. Do you have a paint code for that?

Cheers,

does bigger wheels make the car accelerate slower? Do you feel the difference strongly between 18inch wheels and 19inch wheels?

Which brackets do you use to mount the AMG brakes?
