It will cost you over 5K. My buddy put them on his E320, besides changing the rotors and calipers he had to change the spindles too.

Don't forget the additional cost of having to replace your wheels, you'll
need at least 18" wheels and tires. Also, your current spare tire won't fit.

I think its MUCH too expensive.

Larger brakes won't decrease your stopping distance on the "Initial Stop",
only on subsequent stops (larger brakes dispense heat better). Stopping distance is a function of the tires and abs system.

actually it does on high speed stops because slowing from 70-0 you do get a good amount of brake fade.

What are the spindles?

What rims does he have? Do you know If the E55 will fit in 18' Brabus Rims?

Best Regards.
