C32 Calipers for CLK W208

I was recommended the C32 4 pot calipers as a good alternative to my standard W208 CLK calipers. I think mine are gone as every couple of days of no use, a film of rust covers the rotors and causes the brakes to judder upon application and it doesn't go away with repeated use of brakes . Have tried servicing them several times but no joy and problem reoccurs. Only solution appears to be repolishing the pads and skimming the rotors. Does anyone here have a recommendation on where I can get C32 calipers or any good alternatives ? Brembo Big Brake kit a bit expensive for me. Thanks.

They will work fine for you. You just have to make sure your wheels are big enough and have the right offset. The 32 brakes look great, stop well and will fit on your car no problem, many people have done it.
I might have a hook up for you,
