Just finished installing the 380mm kit on my 450. Still haven’t bedded them yet. I will update the paddle feeling afterwards.
For anyone who is also interested in bbks, the AMG 20 inch wheels need spacers to clear enough space for this kit.
Quite a hassle to get them fitted but yeah they look way better than the stock ones come with AMG package.
Looks good... I wonder if the AMG brakes from the GLE53 would fit on the 450 with the 20" wheels and if so how the cost would compare to the Brembo?
It might fit, but I recommend you to double check with your supplier. The cost to buy amg brake sets is way lower than brembo. You can get a deal for half of the brembo price.
They definitely need better brakes! The AMG package was so disappointing!
Probably not for most people, but the floating calipers are pretty wimpy. Mercedes is missing out by not offering the better brake package as an option. I might have sprung for it if under $5k.

I think you can get AMG brakes for that price. You need to check with your supplier tho.

looking good ! What spacer you use ?
feel much different in braking ?
Many thanks for your reply , im going to apply same setting like your gle
can you recommend any wheel spacers brand ?
And your rear brake is 4 pot ? 370mm ?
The spacers I got were custom made locally. If you talk to your local shop they might CNC one for you as well. As for the bolt I don’t know exactly the length of it but it should be 10 mm longer than the stock ones.
