Killer rear brake upgrade for CL203- all MBZ parts
In building our CL203 for competition we found an all factory way to get killer rear brakes. W210 E55 AMG rear rotors and calipers bolt directly to the W203 with no modifcations- period. Heres the stats:
W203:
10 7/8" rotor diameter
3/8" thick, non vented
2 1/4" x 1 3/4" pad
1 1/4" piston diameter
W210 AMG:
11 3/4" rotor diameter
7/8" thick, vented
2 3/8" x 2" pad
1 3/4" piston diameter
Buying the factory parts will cost you $1000 for everything- not quite as cool as a floating tuner brake set, but a nice alternative.

I assume you mean that this works on W203 C230 Coupes as well then?
Also - more importantly - if this works, what happens to the e-brake? I don't know the structure on the coupe's rear brakes but I would venture a guess that the ebrake works like a drum brake setup inside of the hat. Will this work still?
Thanks for the great find! This will help balance out the C32 front's in a big sort of way!!

OK Peet- Ill post the PN's- home for the weekend, so no access to my MBZ EPC to look them up. Ill catch you up on Monday.
ALL MBZ cars since 1998 share the same PB mechanism. This conversion is shown on a C230 (see pictures) so of course it works on it.

Kleemann, on the inexpensive route I wish you or someone had drilled OEM replacement rotors for front and rear W210 E55. Brembo only has a rear drilled rotor for W210 E55 I believe, but no fronts.
Now that Kleemann offers a big brake upgrade kit for the W210 E55 with nice black calipers I am putting those on my wish list.

The 55 brakes are also VERY heavy. Their mass is intimidating, but I think an aftermarket kit would probably have better results.
