CL600 vs CL65 front brake swap / S 65 same Brake
hello,
the brakes of the W220 65 are the same how the W215 65 are. Maybe someone can help here.....
i want to swap my CL600 front brake rotors (360mm) in CL65 rotors (390mm). The caliper is the same but the brackets are different.
Does anyone have these brackets for sale or does anyone know if there is a aftermarket part that fit for this project?
If not maybe someone can give me the brembo batched number on the brackets. Any help will be very appreciated. THX a lot for your replys.......

Thanks a lot for the reply. That sounds great..... It will be absolutly fantastic if you can pick them up for me. I appreciate that very much.
Here is the part what i need. One of the right and one of the left side with the 4 long hex bolts which hod the caliper on the bracket.
here is a example of those brackets and how the look

They look great. What exactly is the Difference between the 600/65 brakes besides the rotor size?
Maybe someone can help me understand because i'm battling for information for upgrading my W208 Brakes, and trying to decide how large of a rotor i can fit.
My question however is Universal...
If the factory rotor size is 340mm and you upgrade to a 360 or 380mm rotor size, but you're keeping the same caliper and brake pads, if the surface area of the brake pads doesn't also increase, isn't the rotor size increase pointless?
I would have to image that just because you are increasing the rotor size, if the caliper/pads stay the same, you are still getting the same barking power without necessarily upgrading your brakes?

Think of a larger rotor like a longer wrench, more torque can be applied.
SL 600 breaking distance from 70 mph 178 feet
SL65 Breaking distance from 70 mph 160 feet
I cam machine this brackets to any offset
380 , 390 , 402 ,405 etc.
the ones in the picture are for 390mm.
