Sl55 brakes on sl500
Hey guys I am new to the forum . I have a sl500 that has a kleeman super charger on it. I wanted to upgrade the brakes to sl55 brakes. I picked up a set off ebay, and I wanted to know if the rear brakes will fit without paying a fortune. I have gotten a few conflicting answers. They say the fronts will fit with no issues. Just not a answer on the rear . Any help will be appreciated . Thanks

Cm60k if you mean dust covers when you say protective plates I was gonna modify/trim the stock ones on. The car currently .
Also thanks for everyone that chimed in with info. Was worried that I needed some major mods to make these work.

Yes, its the dust plate, you can modify it, by cutting it to give the caliper some space to fit well,,

As i remember; brakes from "SL55" or "SL63" can be fit perfectly in your nice "SL350",,
but, it's better to post your "SL350" VIN #, for more confirmation..

Porsche guy who drives SL63 w/ perf pkg AND perf suspension
the better choice would be the performance pkg, or equal to the 65 2 piece fronts.like 06 07 08 cars. I believe some are 8 piston? but they are bigger

Yeah, MB provided (Brembo's) 8-pot on (55K & 600 & 65) models from "Oct/02 to Jan/07",,
then replace them to 6-pot on all (600 & 63 & 65) models from "Jan/07" till now..
