... C32 AMG Brakes FTMFW!!!
Special thanks to Robert for the hook up on the brakes. Excellent condition on the caliper, rotors and pads.

Nice! Those are going to look so wicked once installed. I bet you could sell your old calipers and discs to a 190E guy, I hear that 400E brakes are a very good, affordable upgrade for them.

Yeah, I'll probably end up doing that.
The brakes are getting installed as we speak.
the only problem we're having right now is the brake line is interferring with the steering knuckle so that might need to be shaven.

Found a solution to the steering knuckle.
Swapping out the back part of the CL600 piston part of the caliper and putting it on the C32. Oddly, they are the same exact caliper but the brake hose is smaller on the CL600.

I guess the steering knuckle on my car is slightly bigger? We are using a L-Adapter for the brake lines to give it some more space.
The CL calipers were yet another hook up from TWS.

They feel pretty good. A lot better than the stock brakes I had before. Still trying to get the hand of them. Haven't had a chanceto really get on them.

Looks awesome mang! How difficult was the install/location of parts? Well, consider you work at a parts store, how difficult to you think it would be for normal peoples?

Car is coming along really good.
All the suspension work I've wanted to be done is finally done.
So,
Suspension: Completed
Body: in process, will be completed within two months.
Wheels: On delivery, will be installed and mounted in one month.
then it's done! yay
