The e55 front caliper will bolt on to a e350 sport. You will have to do the following:
1. Enlarge the 12mm holes on the spindles to accommodate the new 14mm bolts that the e55 caliper takes. OR buy AMG spindles at $300+ a pop... much easier to just enlarge stock spindle holes.
2. You will need to cut the brake dust shield. Takes all of 5 minutes with a dremel.
3. Replace rotors with e55. The are only $140 a pop of FCPEuro's page.
DO NOT use your stock e350 sport rotors with e55 calipers, they are too small. I posted on the other thread as well.
Also the brake pad sensors on the e350 will work 100% with the e55 calipers. They bolt right on just like before. Zero issues.
EDIT:
Actually seeing that you put e63... My bad, In that case if you use the 6 piston calipers you WILL have to replace the rotors to two piece. They are expensive. One of the reasons I went with e55's was because the rotors are cheap. I saw zero need for two piece rotors or the associated costs with them on a heavy *** MB... if this was a track car or track bike sure. If it's not going to see track time, personally spending $1800 for front rotors only is silly to me considering you can do an e55 swap for that as an entire package.
just food for thought.
