SL55 brakes on SL500
I would like to upgrade. Will the SL55 rotors and calipers fit and work correctly on a SL500? Between the SL500 and SL55 are there any other brakes componets that are different, such as master cylinder, proportioning valve, etc.

The front brakes will work fine with a little modifying of the dust sheild. THe rear brakes will NOT work properly as the spindles mounting points are different. IF you want to swap the spindles, then you also have to swap the half shafts since they are larger on AMG sl's and then you have to replace the rear differential also and then hope you have the correct gear ratio to prevent the car from going into Limp.
