doh!

I'm looking at a set of e55 amg brake set up and was wondering if this is a direct bolt on? I have a 2009 e350 amg sport.

Thanks

Sort of off topic...but I wanted something sportier on mine and found a thread where someone used the E500 rotors which are cross drilled and slotted. As I recall, at least for my 2005 the E55 calipers required a mounting bracket that was not readily available for use, otherwise it was a direct bolt on.

While you have W211, they will fit directly, you have M12 bolt in the front knuckle(which caliper mounted), but E55 using M14,

you just need to drilled 2mm to let E55 fit, other than that everything will be fine,,


*I have used E55 front calipers, and used E55 rear Rotors if interested..

ZAYED,,

It was difficult for me to find replacement calipers for my 06. There are different caliper part numbers for W211 and they have diffrent mounting hardware. Also, make sure your rims are big enough to accommodate the AMG calipers.

To answer your question quick - in my experience, it's not a direct bolt on.

The conversion is a direct bolt on EXCEPT you have to machine out 2mm where the carrier attaches to the steering knuckle (kingpin).

Be sure your wheels have the caliper clearance.

Yes, it can be done...and makes an awesome looking and functioning upgrade. @so.sosyal

I also did this conversion a year or so back.

Love it. Looks so much nicer than the sport brakes, and the car stops very very well.

They are insanely massive too. It makes the sport brakes and my brembos on my STi look like freaking baby brakes...

If you have sport package there is enough wheel clearance. However I had to upgrade my wheels...by choice on all my vehicles lol. I got problems. Lol
