I have the full front and rear c32 brake kit (front 4 pot rear 2 pot). Tremendous difference over my stock brakes! Even though i had dba slotted discs front and rear, steel braided hoses, racing brake pads and dot 5.1 brake fluid for my stock brakes, there was so much improvement in braking performance when i swapped to the c32 brake kit! Even though these are the "lousiest" amg brakes (front caliper made by brembo ugly rear caliper made by ate)
However, in terms of braking performance, wish i could get the 6 pot fronts from the new slk to fit on my car. But unfortunately, thats not possible.So i bet your new brakes will feel even better, cept the stock amg pads are damn dusty! For the 4 pot calipers, the pads are not expensive. Abt $135 a set. Dunno abt the 8 pots though.

Yes, I am getting the full kit - front 8 pot and rear 4 pot. Price is at apporx S$4,400 which is "cheap" compared to the full brembo kit. I am excited and can't wait to instal the AMG brake kit. I find the stock E-Class brakes a bit "spongey" and hope that the AMG kit will feel more precise.
Hope to meet you and all the Singaporeans who post on this forum in person one day. There is a MercedesSG meetup al Kallang Mac on Saturday, 25 March.

Make me an offer.
Thanks

I am interested to take the C32 AMG brake calipers off you. I've sent you an email.

For further optimization of your four cylinder Mercedes-Benz, the KLEEMANN Perfomance kit is available for both the 180, 200 and 230. Fitted with the Performance kit and the new Tubular Header, the power output of a 200 is increased from 163 Hp up to 230 Hp.

Noticed a new Kleeman dealer in Singapore - KBS Motorsports at Sin Ming Autocare. Anyone checked or tried them? So far, only talked to Benzline and MBM Wheelpower.

gd stuff! supercharger sounds a lot louder and the power gain is very noticeable!
however, ive had problems with my ecu failing a few times about a year after the install. c&c credits the problems to the pulley kit but im not so sure about that. but to be safe, i removed the pulley kit.
