Thinking of getting a BBK
Getting tired of looking at my tiny oem rotor/caliper through my 22's so I'm thinking of getting a set of brembos though a few questions for the guys that currently have BBK on their w221......
Spare is the stock 19 so I know they wont clear but if I put a spare from the S65 would that clear? Two options are 6/8 pistons with the 6 coming with a larger diameter rotor, whats more important, # of pistons or diameter of rotors? (def would love bigger rotors but more pistons stops better?), also, can anyone tell me how much replacement brake pads and rotors are when using the brembo bbk? what's the life expectancy on the pads/rotors?? thanks

Sorry can't tell you how much the replacement pads and rotor cost but I would highly recommend a bbk. I had mines for 2 months and love them. I ordered the 8 piston. 20" amg rims should clear but not all aftermarket 20" will. Hope that help
