Get some of those fake caliper covers on eBay that say "Brembo" and what not. They sort of look good if that's what you're looking for. If you want them for the performance then get an E55. They're really cheap now so it shouldn't be an issue.

And engine. Do you have AMG badges?
If so, practically a self-nomination for our famous thread.

Please post pictures of your car. I'd like to see the rear in particular if tou can please. Curious about how something on the back of your wagon may look.

AMG calipers won't fit 4Matic because of the spindles it uses. You can probably mod your spindles but most likely it will be ****ed up

I have to say, overall, that is a VERY sharp looking car! No one (mostly) should get on your case about the mods you've done/doing as long as you don't start badging the car.

Thanks man, and NO badging or de-badging at that for me.
I'm not trying to fake the funk, for all the 63 owners who paid the high price tag and suffer everyday with mpg...and really have no where to put that muscle to work "legally" lol
E350 4matic it will stay for sure!! Just love the amg lines on a wagon.

You need to space out the rear wheels... 10mm spacers should be good.

I Agree a staggered rear wheel looks better, but having a 4matic I kept a offset of et38 all around, being I plan on having the car awhile....also almost $5k in this set up I don't plan on trading it in or selling. Besides my 6yr old step daughter loves the third row "LOCALLY" no highway rides back there it makes me nervous !!

I think staggered is different size wheels but your only changing offsets... Shouldn't be a problem

Back to revive this caliper tread !!

Ok so what is the deal with the front 55/63 calipers other then the knuckle bolt holes needing to be in-large to bolt up calipers??
I'm pretty sure the rear in straight forward but please someone chime in!!!
Thanks

More brake pressure in the front may confuse 4-matic computers, or maybe not?????

I don't think that would be an issue being the 4matic is mechanical.
But the outer tie rod I think might get in the way of the bottom part of the caliper/bracket
