AMG performance package front brakes for sale

We have a few NEW left & right axles in stock for the W211 E-class, W219 CLS & R230 SLs complete with 030 performance package rotors & calipers.

The brakes fit on any E55, CLS55, SL55 & SL600 without any major changes AND will fit on any (other) non AMG W211, W219 & R230 when using the complete axle as offered and swap out the original spindles.

We offer these sets (existing of a complete left & rightside axle with brakes) for 2500USD excl. shipping (from California) as long as stock lasts and only when ordered before Friday (as that will be the last day to add parts to our shipment to cali).
Local pick up in either the bay area or orange county is possible (& preferred).

The axles and brakes are NEW BUT the calipers might have some MINOR SCRATCHES due to storage and transportation – please be aware of that!

A new set of rotors, calipers & pads cost over 4000USD from the dealership (and that is excluding the 2x350USD costing spindles that are needed on the non AMG Cars).

So – incase anybody is seriously interested: s_krabbenborg@hotmail.com

PP front brakes have a composite rotor that is floating. The rotor is also bigger in diameter that standard.

uh ...

The reason I was asking was that I did see a small round circle in the middle. I was questioning if they were the 6 pistons because It was my believe that the blown 55's had 8 piston calipers. I had heard that the newer cars had gone back to a 6 piston configuration.

If these are 4 piston calipers ... I don't see why anyone with a blown 55 would want these. Why would someone go from a 6-8 piston caliper to a 4 piston caliper? If they want the 030 rotors ... they can order those seperately and have those installed.

4 on each side x 2 sides to a caliper = 8 pistons

...here is the deal...you see ONE side and that ONE side has 4 circles...the caliper - however - has TWO sides and that other (second) side also has something similar as the pictured side...making a total of 8 pistons

savy?

greetingz,
Thanks Rlee for clarification ...

MbenzNL ... you might read your own post ... you only state 4 ... not everyone is going to know that its per side ...

After looking again I do see 4 circles on each side.

So yes I savy ...
