SL55 brake rotors

Hello,

I've been shopping around for pads and rotors online for about a week now and have a question. Different websites and dealers are showing different rotor diameters for the car. I have an 06 with the 8pot up front. I've seen 360mm and 380mm for the front; and I have seen 330mm and 340mm for the rear. What fits? Was there a brake option on the sl55 besides the 030 with the 390s?

SL55 standard set up
8 piston caliper with 360mm rotor

SL55 with performance package
same 8 piston caliper but extended bracket and hold an expensive 380 mm 2 pieces rotor

When AMG switch to SL63, then they have 390mm 2 pieces rotors in the front

Hope this help

Is there any way to purchase the longer caliper brackets alone?
I want to upgrade to 380mm rotors but want to avoid purchasing two new calipers.

...

Why do a lot of the manufacturers have rotors they claim fit an 03-05 SL55. Was there some sort of change in '06?

I also wish Mercedes have that piece seperated
sadly, they don't
for your R129, are you runing SLK55 set up or SL55 8 piston?

Currently running an SLK55 setup.
Aren't there any other options?

AMG
I have Evosport rotars; drilled and slotted
Front 360mm, Rear 330mm.
Much better stopping power than the standard AMG's
