Let’s be real — the C167 / V167 GLE53 AMG comes from the factory with just a single-piston front brake setup. For a car this size and weight? Honestly, it’s not nearly enough.We just wrapped up another GLE53 with an genuine brake upgrade. This time we went with the Mercedes benz gray calipers — basically the same performance as the AMG-branded ones, but way more budget-friendly. Then we had them refinished in red to match the vibe.
@iCARMIX It seems to me that a different Master cylinder would also be needed. And perhaps a different booster.
You're going from 2 or 4 piston to 6 piston in front. Otherwise, your pedal travel will increase, the initial bite will feel different, and the whole system will probably feel softer.

for this model, no need to change cyliner or booster. it's enough. some models can do brake performance coding to improve.
