So I was looking at the changes for the 08 SLK55 and I noticed that the standard brakes are no longer the 6 piston front/4 piston rear anymore, but instead AMG seems to downgrade the brakes to the 4f/2r pot (seems like the C/CLK 55 setup). The only way you can get the 6f/4r setup along with the composite rotors is if you opt for the P030 package. I wonder if this affect the pricing as well.

I hope you don't think they'll lower the price. The only effect on pricing is the fact that the 030 option is now a better value.

Exactly, 08+ should go for the 030 package.

And the downgrade is HUGE !!! They are the same of the C32.

SLK55
4 pistons 345*30
2 pistons 300*22

CLK 63
6 Pistons 360*32 Composite
4 Pistons 330*26

C 63
6 Pistons 360*32
4 Pistons 330*26

sounds like they are doing on purpose to draw the crowd toward 030...

Which is ridiculously overpriced and a ripoff.

It was because people were complaining about the SLK55's brake's noise...
