Want to know what AMG big brakes to fit 2014 GL350 BlueTEC X166

Hi all.
I have a 2014 GL350 BlueTEC X166.
I hoping to find anyone who knows or has fitted genuine AMG BIG Brakes front and back.. or what other models have same fitment. I've read that the ML63 X166 and the GL63 X166 will git my GL350 X166. Any advice will be very much appreciated.

Hi - all the W166 and X166 platform have the same brake spindles. The majority of parts (not all, but most) are interchangeable.

The fronts will bolt-on as I have known X166 GL450's to put on X166 GL63 brakes. That being said, you need to make sure your wheels can clear the caliper. So you might need larger wheels or use a H&R spacer (this is the brand I suggest if you do so, don't mess with safety).

The rears will bolt-on as well. I believe you have an electronic parking brake too, and not a manual hand parking brake.

I'd sell you my front calipers from my X166 GL63, but I see you are in AU and I am in the USA.

How much for the fronts shipped to 35244?

I agree,those stock brakes are pretty weak for 2.5ton car
