Beautiful car indeed! Can you share the name of the business where you got the brake parts?

Who's the vendor you sourced them from? And is that front & rears ceramic? Or fronts ceramic only, and rears are just gold calipers on steel rotors?

Agree, the lower tier at least E coupe also has no b-pillar, shame on the CLE replacing it having the b-pillar, from the outside even the shape of the windows is really a c-coupe. MB discontinuing the S-Coupe and hoping the CLE coupe will grab their attention must be mistaken, this is really not one size fits all. S coupe buyers expect much more than the CLE can offer.

Edit: Found an image comparing E coupe and CLE coupe https://i.redd.it/3to5bidyfpsc1.jpeg
