Replaced a worm out breather hose. Found some rust in the rear wheel well and fixed it. Found these S65 / CL55 / SLK55 calipers on ebay for cheap with a terrible paint job. Stripped off the old paint, it took several tries to get all of it off. Painted them silver and put some AMG decals on them Old setup New rotors Trimmed and painted the dust shield All back together
Those calipers for "W215 CL55/CL600/W220 S55-S600",
the bolts holes are (12.7mm), and your hub uses (10mm) bolts,
have to put (1.5mm-2mm) sleeves into the holes to make sure calipers will not moving due to hard brakes..!,
also, have to cut the spindle edge to give more clearance to the caliper bolt base,,
cause when you tighten the bolts, the edge of calipers bolts holes will be damaged, and they will not set properly in the middle of the Rotor..!!

Yes, looks just like what I did. If you buy standard size tubing it fits perfect! Also had to grind those areas, and I completely removing the brake shield
Took everything apart this afternoon and ground down those parts a bit so everything fits up better.
I tried to order some 10mm ID tubing off of Ebay but it was coming from China and not going to arrive until sometime in October so I

No not yet. I have C55 calipers and 345mm rotors from my old 4matic that I plan to put on one day, hopefully they fit with my wheels. Did not have the time this weekend.

Hopefully they fit with our stock wheels. I’ve been eyeing a set to have on the self for when I need brakes.

Smart move bro., and 100% agree with..,
i really heat these stupid shields, not that necessary to keep them, they protect nothing..!!,
just pull them off,
take the small piece which holds the L&R speed sensors in Fronts,
and keep the round base to hold the brake shoes at Rears,,
I drove it on the weekend for the first time in about 6 months. It's the only car I know that could swallow a 2m long fridge.
Damn that car is good. Smooth, comfortable, torquey, reliable and stealthy. I bought an RS4 to replace it but, the E55 is in a different class, built for a different purpose.
The plan now is to restore it.
Ac compressor, rear bumper, dash cracks, carpet bald spots, driver's seat leather, new rear tires and wheel alignment.
So it looks like I will save around 30lbs per seat.
So with my new battery and seat set up, looking to drop around 80lbs. Hopefully if my boss lets me use his e63 5 spoke wheels and I get two piece rotors I can maybe get down into 3700lb range.
