I have put an AMG 2 ports brake system with brake disc to replace the original front brakes. The result is significant. Braking efficiency is so high that may be I need to replace another bigger size front types to maintain the grip.
But the oringinal brakes are enough for stopping this small vehicle but the feeling when braking is not so linear. Also, the looking now is better. Agree?

Very nice discs
Well have you considered:-
- the 2001 exterior mirrors with the indicator lamps
- AMG spoiler
- and of course you can start on the interior ... GPS...DVD...brushed aluminium...

Thanks for the comment from xyzpl.
Yes, the car is lowered. Will consider to add a spoiler too. The electric ext. mirror look great too. Emm. I will take them later.
Another .5 inches may scratch the bottom when passing through the kerbs or touch the ground of some car parks in hk. What a shame !

I change my suspension spring(lower) and replace with Bilstein shock absorber. I have not measured how much inches dropped. It is just lowered to suit my needs. There is some more to lower may be 1-1.5 inches !
Also, have the front and rear stablizer bar installed. The ride is very firm around the corners. But, I need to abandon my Dunlop SP9000 tyres and have one size up the tyres as the limit higher now. Anyone who has suggestion on what brand and size of tyres should I have?
Concerning the barkes, I would recommend to all SLK owners ! The efficiency and the limit is so high. It can stop the car with the least effort and easily. You can feel the big difference after installed the AMG brakes. The brake pad comes with the whole set.

the wheels make the car...
I actually think the side turn signal indicators are better, more safe, visable than the ones one the mirrors.

Not sure I agree with you on the side turn signals, but each to his own.

Thanks for all of the comments.
This is a 97 SLK230. I spent around US 1100 for the front brakes.
For the suspension, around US 800 with Bilstein shocks (sport version) and lowered springs.
But I think it is a little bit too hard.
Known that H&R suspension set may have better ride and comfort.
Anyone is using HR suspension set? What you comments on H&R ?

Hi brian_R170,
I have seen a ML320 with very simliar brakes of my AMG brakes. But, there is no AMG logo on it.
Both the size and the outlooking are the same !
