W210 E55 2000, Can i use the W211 Brake calipers?

I am wondering if its better to just get a set of W211's calipers than to buy a set of brembo calipers and can the W211's fit on a W210?

Ceramic brakes are an option on the GT-2 and the GT-3.

not to detour/jack the thread; Evo-sport just confirmed the C55 BBK will fit onto W210 e55 no problem as they have sold few sets to other w210 owners when they had the sale last yr

W210's calipers and rotor is expensive than W211. My co-worker has a 99 E55 and he is think to switch to W211's rotor, but can't be done. Maybe there are chance if you use both W211's rotor and calipers together, but no sure if it works.

BTW, C55 isn't the same 8 piston calipers as E55. And, does the system fit under your current rims? Will it fit will be another issue. Maybe CLK AMG's rotor and Caliper might fit into W210 since the size is smaller.

Sounds good to me give me a feedback on how much is costing you for parts.
