Upgrading R129 brake to AMG 8&4 pistons.
Guys,I'm newbies here.I'm going to upgrade my R129 Brake.i'm having the AMG 8 Pistons and 4 pistons taken from 2002 S55 AMG.The problem is I couldn't find the right rotor discs to fit on the rear with 4 pistons AMG Calipers.I'm looking to somewhere like 330-350mm on the rear.Ayone BTDT on this upgrade before?What is the rotor disc I should get from?Please chime me in guys.I'd appreciate that.

I don't think it will fit with S55 Rear Discs.the problem is about the parking brake shoe.The inner diameter for the center hub of R129 is smaller than
the Newer model.I might end up customed 2pieces rotor discs.

I know that this topic is old, but maybe someone have similar problem like poppy.
I have just finished instaling 8 pistons calipers brake on front, and 4 on rear.
On front I have installed 360mm brake disc and 330mm on rear.
Front brake disc is from w204 C63 AMG, but to fit them you have to make many modyfications.
On rear I installed brake discs 330mm from R171 SL55 AMG with Performance Package. They fit without any problems, but it's very dificult to get them.
Brake discs from w220 S55 AMG will not fit to R129 or w124, even you will modify many things.
