AMG Brembo fitment question
Hello all,
are all amg brembos the same size? i am looking to upgrade the small brake setup on my c300 sport and am curious if any other amg calipers will fit other than the C63 amg upgrade? The C63 upgrade is very pricey and the other amg calipers are very affordable..So any help or advice is VERY appreciated!
Thank You all!

how is the car being used and why do you need an AMG big brake kit?

C300 has 295x28mm front and 300x10 rear rotor, assume you have 17" wheel you can only go up to 13" (332mm) kit w/o having to buy larger wheels.
C63 has 360x36 front and 330x26 rear, so you would need 18 or 19" wheel and the set up for the braking need and size may well over kill for your C300.
I would think a well designed 13" front and rear brake kits are more suitable for your need and budget (~35K).
