Ok that clearly says nothing about 4matic and also is not a 4matic. As well as the 4matic questions in that tread have been either ignored and the answer was that kit has NEVER been test fitted on a 4matic.
I think it's safe to say this convo is pretty much done as I've done probably as much research as any other 4matic owner has trying to do this upgrade.
I will in fact get a caliper and try to test fit without drilling out the 12mm holes for the caliper bracket on my knuckle to fit the 14mm Amg bracket bolts. With hopes that my bolts slide through the Amg bracket for the test fit (of course I will not drive on it like that) stay tuned..........

I personally do not own a 4matic-however i would assume if a 2wd 211 has the same size rotors as a 4matic 211 i would be willing to bet it's a direct fit. Maybe the geometry of the spindle is different, dk, but i'm assuming since they share the same spec rotors, the calipers would be a direct fit.
