Question C43 Brakes?

Good evening, all!

Hope you're staying safe and healthy. Is anyone running a brake upgrade on their W210, specifically any E430s? I thought I heard something about swapping brakes from a C43 onto an E430 and am pretty interested in something like that. I'm currently running the stock 17in 5-spokes, would C43 rotors fit in there or would I need to pick up some 18in monoblocks first?

Thanks for any insight.

Thank you for the links. I'm well aware of the search function, but it just showed me threads on the new C43, which wouldn't be any use to me.

Then you need to fine tune your search.
On google, use boolean method and/or add "site:mbworld.org", "w202", "c43", "caliper upgrade", etc to your search for specific results.
