Mercedes Benz X247 GLB250 4matic Genuine AMG A45 CLA45 Front 6 Pot Brake Kit upgrade

Stock one pot brakes on front and rear for this X247 GLB250 was seriously insufficient for such a heavy car.
Decided to go for Genuine brakes originally for A45 and CLA45. Now front brakes are running 360mm driled disc with 6 pistons caliper.
Rear caliper was then painted in red to match the front brakes. 5mm spacer have to be added onto the front axle in order to fit these Vossen wheels. #mm spacers was also added onto the rear so the car looks more beefy and more balanced with the front.
The car looks so much better with these 6 pot brakes on. Braking also feels so much more linear and the car isn't jerky anymore when braking.

You can most probably get GLB35 brakes and should be good enough with 107ft stopping distance... Tires are the contact area for braking. You should upgrade your tires before your brakes:

That's absolutely correct, just make sure you stay within your wheel range, otherwise you are gonna need to also change the wheel, which will come with extra cost.

Unhappy Weight

Looks like a ton of added unsprung weight. Bad for acceleration, comfort and handling.
