SLK55 brakes

Are those 6-pot calipers (w/composite rotors) in the front and 4-pots in the back?

Die schwimmend gelagerten, innen belüfteten Graugussscheiben mit einem Durchmesser von 340 Millimetern sind mit einem Aluminiumtopf verbunden und stellen zusammen mit den großen Belagflächen des Sechs-Kolben-Festsattels eine größtmögliche thermische Belastbarkeit sicher. An der Hinterachse kommen massive Bremsscheiben mit einem Durchmesser von 330 Millimetern und Vier-Kolben-Festsättel zum Einsatz.
front:
340mm compound-disk, with 6piston-break

The 340mm rotor is standard with 6 piston caliper. The Slk55 "030 AMG Performances Packages" came with 360mm rotors but they're alot more expensive then the standard 340mm rotor. You're looking at about $250-$300 more per rotor.

slk55 nominal thickness is 32mm minimum thickness is 30mm. the "hat" is what bolts the rotor to the hub the "ring" is the outer portion the caliper clamps to

My friend made a hat for me "7" months ago, i need to do the same again,, but i forget the Exact size measurement, as i remember, it may comes with

"12mm width & 152mm inner & 165mm outer",, but im not sure if it correct or not..??,, if someone done the same hat, pls. forward the measurement.......

i will be swapping my drag setup out for my street setup this weekend. ill measure the hats i have on the car then if you want new rotors the racing brake 2 piece rotors for the c32 or a direct bolton for the 6 piston calipers. 340mm and super light. 1000$ for the pair

Thankss alot,, good idea about C32 "2" piece rotors, since we got the correct measurement, then its soo easy to fabricate them in any 340mm rotors,,

Good Luck with a drag setup.......
