Brake upgrade for e430 question
I am looking to upgrade my braking system for my 2002 e430. I would ultimately like bigger brakes ex. off a w210 e55. I was wondering if the caliper itself would fit with my setup. I have w211 e55 wheels front 18x8 rear 18x9. Or any other suggestions.. I have read c32 brake calipers may fit as well and even work better.

w210 AMG or S213
I had the c32 setup on my car and it will fit with 18's and 17's but might require a small spacer depending on the wheel.
w21 e55 calipers and brakes should bolt right up with no issues. e55 rotors and calipers are going to be more expensive.
c32 setup with 18's
with 17s

I got early S55 front brakes, which are the same as the C32 except the spacing is a little different. One of the best upgrades ive done to the car imho. braking power is 2x3 times better and probably 80 percent less dust
