2006 SLK 55 AMG
I don't know....but My understanding is that the SLK55 030 and non-030 are exactly the same. The rear ones are "supposed" to be different but in my opinion they are NOT (at least to the untrained eye)!

030 brakes are different than standard slk55
just got mine ... first mine are slotted as well as have the holes.
The rotors are Significantly larger than standard. As a matter of fact I was looking at 3 SLK55s next to each other ... 2 were standard one (the one I bought) had the performance package. It was very noticable that the brakes were larger. I think the caliper is the same I think the fronts on both are 6 pot? Didn't really look at the standard caliper too closely.l

front axle. The cast disc is connected to the aluminium bowl and supported both axially and radially by floating bearings.
This means that it can expand under high heat without distortion. The effect:
optimum fade-resistance, less brake judder and outstanding deceleration –
thanks also to the 6-piston fixed callipers at the front brakes, which are state-ofthe- art in this class.

My current brake disc rotor is of 13" in size (front) with a 4 port brake calipers. The SLK 55 brake disc rotor (front) is of 13.4" in size. I have intention of swapping to the SLK 55 6 port brake calipers but can I use the current 13" brake disc rotor without changing the brake disc rotor to 13.4" ?
Anyone has any suggestions ?

Brabus Brake kit
If anybody's interested, I have a Brabus 6 pot front brake kit for sale. Includes 6 piston aluminum calipers, 14.3 inch cross drilled floating rotors, pads, mounting brackets and screws, stainless steel brake lines. If you were to buy these directly from Brabus, they retail for about $10,000. PM me if interested.
BTW, the AMG 6-pot are nice, but I think Brabus is better.

How abt install on SLK200 (R171)? Can it be possible?
And if it is, does it need any modification? Any idea?
Thank you,
Ken
