C32 Brake performance
Do these brakes have a dramatic improvement over the stock C-class brakes? Are they the same as a brembo GT set or are the brembos more powerful?

it should be between the brembo gt kit and stock non-amg c-class. the c32 brakes should cost about half as much as a brembo gt...ballpark #s...

The stopping is waaay better! I wish I would have done the upgrade earlier. Also, it fills the space behind the rims real well. Bargain!

they look sick, I am just wondering if they were worth the money or if I should just spend the extra to get the brembos. Then again the Kleeman purple calipers would be awescome

Yes, they are heavier, however for under $1,000 installed, they do offer an attractive alternative to those who do not wish to spend over $3,000 on them.
