Looking to buy W211 E55 brakes
Hello I was interested in maybe buying a set of E55 brakes and trying to get them installed on my NSX. The Brembo GTR kit for my car is $15,000 front and rear. I was looking at my E and thought the caliper about looks the same so I was thinking maybe get a bracket made to make it fit. Anyone have any experience with doing anything like this? Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Thanks!

The issue that I see, is that the center hub and bolt pattern, offset will be different, so the rotors won't mount or fit.
And if you were able to get them installed, you would need a new set of wheels because of the backspacing needed to clear the rotors.
And you will most likely need to install a proportioning valve, to equal out your braking bias. But you probably already thought of this.
