Really wanted to do the same on my car but decided the cost / effort wasn't worth it (too hard to find any good information or pricing for 4-matic).
Have you noticed any differences in braking?

That has to have changed the handling pretty dramatically. Nice wheels and tire choice as well. The whole enchilada.

Mine surely are not red in color but they seem quite large. The spoke of the wheel covers the "Mercedes Benz text on the caliber but if I try to include that to the picture then both ends of the caliber are behind two spokes. Looking at the pictures it seems the AMG brakes are quite a bit bigger though my brakes are so strong I don't feel I need any bigger. But it is all for looks, right?

Do you still have the work order for this? Curious if you needed brackets. Or if you could possibly take off a wheel and post a picture of the back side where the caliper is mounted? Would be helpful (if you still have the car, of course). I can’t seem to find out whether these brakes just bolt on or not.
