My new Brembo GT Big Brake kit finally arrived and these things are huge! The fronts are 6 pistons calipers and 405mm disks and rears are 4 piston calipers 380mm discs. Some serious stoping power!

cls55

will they be direct fit?

Maverick1975

Not sure what you mean by direct fit? I have been advised they will fit. Evosport have also put a set on an ML63 before. Need at least 20 inch wheels i think , i am safe at 22inches. Hoping the clearance between caliper and wheel will not be a problem

cls55

i meant bolt on,i have the original amg rotors and calipers of cls55 new(made by brembo) and i asked simon if they would fit on my ml63 and he said that i might need a bracket of some sort.please keep me/us posted.
p.s they look great

Maverick1975

Got it. Will let you know how the install went for sure

Hello Maverick1975, Have you been able to install the paddle shifters yet?

Maverick1975

Not yet, i just picked up the paddles from MB yesterday and having held them in the palm of my hand i now understand how simple it will be and that the hole that fits them will only need to be marginally enlarged

Also, as you well know, they will feel exactly the same as my C63 paddles as the "resistance' you feel when you pull the paddles in the C63 is all built in to the mecahnism of the paddle itself so I am pretty happy about that because that feel was exactly what i was after.

Car is going in for the Vaeth install next weekend and same guys will be doing paddleshift conversion and brake installation. Thanks for your write up of installation, that and some other posts that i showed to mecahanic demonstrated to him how simple it should be

Those look fantastic, please inform us of how they perform.

Good luck Maverick1975 maybe you can take pictures of the process and share it with the others. I was to busy drilling etc i forgot to document the process

Any updates with the new kit?

Staff@RPM

The Brembo kit is a direct bolt on fit. The kit comes with the necessary brackets so that the caliper can bolt on to the factory spindle with no modifications. The kit also comes with stainless steel brake lines as well. They are monster brakes. The 405mm kit is a 16" rotor, I remember when I used to upgrade to 16" wheels.......we have come a long way.
