rear caliper and rotor upgrade with pics
got my rear euro spec s600 calipers upgrade from MBenzNL last wk. huge difference in size. perfect fit. used oem drilled rotor from SL55 and pads from SL65. almost the size of the front calipers but 1/2 the weight. people with 20" or above wheels- don't leave home without the upgrade. the hardest part was to find the caliper rebuild kit since i powder coated the calipers. the install was very easy.

the price went up from 2 yrs ago so i only got the rear. i think the front looks pretty decent already. however, i think most of the cost is shipping the heavy rotors and pads. i think if u only get the calipers, it will be very attractively priced. i looked at other bbk but i don't want to loose ebrake. the price for just the rear caliper is very reasonable. i'm glad i only got the caliper because i was able to upgrade to the sl55 drilled rotors (thanks to iriblue). the is a must if you have large wheels. p.s. i think 18 should still clear because they are still smaller than the front brakes.
the first 2 pic show the front, the 3rd shows the rear. each floor block is 12".

i don't want people to get mad at MbenzNL if the price changes in the future. the amg is just a sticker. i stripped the finish already. not going to put an amg sticker on if i don't have one. save your flaming posts.

Nice upgrade 
, I called the shop where I did my brake upgrade, and for the SL55 drilled rotor using the part numbers your posted they quoted $104x2 for the Rotors and $127x2 for the SL 65 brake pads .
Chris, if you ever saw the official Mercedes Benz photos for the 2011 S600 refresh (It was a Brown S600), you can see these 6 piston calipers on the front and 4 piston on the rear).
