Looks like the dealership does not sell them separately. You must buy the pad set...
Will it be OK running without?

ps2cho

Got it all up and running.

DAMN this thing stops good!!
And it hasn't even broke in yet

I find no problems using stock MC!!

I guess I gotta get going on my AMG Gen I bodykit now

Sounds like a great upgrade, I'm glad I didn't get rid of my calipers.

Can you tell me your rotor width next time you have your wheels off?

ps2cho

22mm rotor for the 92 caliper. 25mm rotors for the 93+ caliper. I have the 22mm.

So do I on my coupe but my slotted rotors are over 22mm and I get scraping. I may need to clean out the area behind the pads but the pads don't separate from the rotor. Did you end up w/o shims?

I have a loose pair of calipers from a 93 but they are identical to my 90 coupe so they are before the mid-year change. I'll put these on my wagon...

ps2cho

I had to compress the piston all the way back to fit it in, but it fit without any issues.
I used shims yes

pifcat2

my rotor is 22.3mm, not sure if that's the problem

ps2cho

Is it aftermarket?

pifcat2

yes, slotted with holes

Question: Will the 25mm rotors from a 93 e320 clear the LCAs on a 1989-92 300e?

pifcat2

I finally noticed the min marking on the rotor edge which verify I have the 25mm wide and I need the 22mm. What disturbs me is I already measure near min thickness at 22.21 which is just enough to scrape. This may also be the difference of just clearing the ball joint on the '93+ LCA. 3mm is only 0.12" but must have some reasoning behind it. I was told another way to tell the difference between the narrow and wide caliper are the retainer, where the wider one has notches:
