I ordered e55 front calipers/rears. The reason I did this was because the rotors are cheap. Compare that to the e63 rotors which are triple the cost did not make it worth it to me especially since I don't have 500hp under the hood.
I'm doing it mainly to fill up the wheel gap that the 4 pot fronts don't fill...lol
From my understanding both will work and bolt on. You need to enlarge the spindle hole on the stock ones by 2mm which is easy. You will need new rotors, backing plate, and obviously pads.
I should have my calipers here by next week I hope.
I feel bad for the person who has to drive the old Explorer parked next to it.
lol! Yeah, that's our 96' we've had for19 yrs! Our spare utility vehicle. 172k on the clock and still runs great. No room in the garage for the exploder or the MB unfortunately.

I hear you.
We keep our 2004 GMC Yukon as a spare as well. I also realized that a 8'x4' sheet of plywood while driving home from Home Depot does not look all that great on top of the Benz.
So we keep the Yuk for runs like this and also to go up in the mountains or on the occasional camp trip.
Our new arrival from Japan. Just driven it 450km home after I collected it at the port in Sweden and i love it. Awaiting registration and proper plates.
Will start to do some maintenance such as engine and transmission oil and filter, brake and coolant fluid change.
Does not have any service records so may have already been done or not.
I'm wondering to put on these wheels on my silver W211. What do you guys think about these wheels? should i go 19" or 20? cuz im also lowering afterwards...

19's should be good since your lowering it. But if it were me i would just go ahead and put dubs on

Well I've looked into dubs as well to rohana/vossen... since its kinda old car im not tryna spend like 2-3k on rims n wheels lol
I think dubs look good on suvs n trucks better than cars, my opinion. I wanna go black or grey so i can paint the chrome grill black as well. But im looking this color as well cuz the front of spokes are chrome and they shine pretty nice n rest is just silver.
I think ima stick to these but i wouldnt mind more suggestions!!!
And what kinda tires should i run on em with 19s? Its 19x8.5 19x9.5
They are the stock 18" AMG III wheels. The car is lowered on eibach springs from the previous owner. If I added a front diffuser/lip I wouldn't be able to get up my driveway. This car is as low in the front as my STi is with a v-limited CF lip. I've honestly thought about putting the stock springs on because I do have to be mindful of where I am driving. The bottom side of the front bumper is scraped up from stuff (luckily you can't see unless it's on a lift), but annoying sometimes to drive and have to take extreme angles so the bottom front doesn't scrape. After those pictures pulling out of the parking garage I scraped the bottom again because of how it dips before the street connects... it's annoying..haha
I'm looking for those type of wheels, in 19s, or 20 if possible, found one set of $2k...no thanks lol
It looks nice man. I would buy a E55 or E63 in W211 only if i didn't commute around 120 miles on weekdays lol. And if you do go back to your stock springs and thinking to sell the Eibach springs, I'm in the market for that. I'm still looking for a nice set of wheels for mine. those AMG ones are a little too overpriced and I'm tryna keep my budget to 1k-1500.
Yea that scraping does get annoying but a ride looking that clean, n lowered, it's worth it i say. Better than those ricers swinging around their hondas on 2 inch high road bump lol
