E55 amg brake conversion - need part #'s

I know a few of you did the 8 piston conversion, do you have a list of part numbers that you used that one post is lacking the information in a complete list and another user posted a cl63 conversion in the same post kinda messing up clarity of the parts. If anyone can assist i would appreciate it.

THanks

You man want to ping @JohnnyC as I believe he had done extensive brake upgrades to his GLK and is a great source of information.

can i ask why? i have to do them on my e55 and would hate to pay for and do them on the glk that stops plenty fast as it is. the only reason i would upgrade to this is if you plan on using it on the track but i doubt that is why.
