Latest upgrade complete

For about 2 years I've had upgrade brake components sitting in my office waiting to be installed.
We my cousin finally did it and swapped everything out. We are left with a full 1998ish SL600 Silver Arrow brake kit along with upgraded master cylinder and booster.
Sorry about the dirty car and wheels, things have been a little too busy at work and home.

That looks like an awesome upgrade. Can you tell us how it went? Was it a straight bolt-on? Can you provide some part numbers for the calipers and rotors?

Cheers,

It should be bolt on for V8 engines.

Here's the spreedsheet I got my part numbers from. You can do just about any version.
My cousin said he spent about 9 hours installing everything including the new booster and master cylinder.

Exactly. The only thing I had to change was the routing for the brake lines.

Anyways, I'll be selling my C32 Front AMG brakes.

I'm swapping them out for 6-Piston 030 AMG brakes in the front and 4-Piston in the rear for when I get my new wheels.
