Will calipers from a S600 work on a S500 4matic??
Will calipers from a S600 work on a S500 4matic??
Hi guys, just like the title says will the calipers from a S600 work on a S500 4matic ? I do realize that other parts may be also swapped but does anyone know for sure ??

I bought a pair of S600 front rotors for my S500 from a guy who was parting his car.
Unfortunately, they were too big for the 500 calipers.
I'm sure they will be a good fit for you if you find your 600 calipers are too big for the 500 rotors.
Ill sell the 600 rotors to you.
Good luck.

Wish someone that knows for sure will chime in and tell us if that is possible or not...

I dont see why not, just twist the brake line fitting from the 500 caliper and install 600 caliper, then bleed the brakes.
Just a guess as im not 100% sure but it seems straightforward.
Not sure if the two 17mm? bolts will line up with the hub and the 600 caliper.

Exactly, the 600 caliper being bigger I don't know if it will line up with the 500 set up. Maybe I should get the spindle from the 600 as well?

Sounds about right. Before you do anything you should jack up the front, take off the wheel, and compare length of calipers.
I assume you want to upgrade to the four piston calipers since some 4matics did not come with Brembo calipers? Yes factory oem calipers are Brembos. Because racecar.

Yes it shouldnt be an issue once you get the spindle. The suspension components and design b/w the 4matics and RWD 220s are the same from what I understand.

The W220 RWD front suspension uprights have nowhere for the drive shafts to go. The 4WD cars definitely have different calipers, uprights and lower wishbones.
I think this would need some good research first.

Ok guys, I am scratching the fronts since it seems like it will be like opening a can of warms but I would still like to do the rears if I can just for the simple reason that I could get them for a good deal ( calipers + rotors ) I just want to make sure that the rears will be a direct swap before I purchase them. Any idea for sure on the rears ?? Thanks again for all your help.

The front brakes do two-thirds of the stopping - is there any point in upgrading the rears, but not the front? Will you get more aggressive braking on the rear, leading to quicker ABS action?
I wouldn't consider it worthwhile if I owned the car, but its your car, your money...

Question is, will they be a straight swap ??
