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.

The install was VERY straight forward. I don't know why people are saying you need to customize/mod some areas. The only problem was the brake lines but that was resolved quick.

Might be a challenge for person new to doing swaps to do but if you have experience it can be done.

Tan, thanks bro! been lacking the stoppoing power with all the driving we've been doing.

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
