Luke@TireRack help with BBK for a Mercedes GL
Tire rack lists the Brembo BBK for GL450,550 all years front and rear, are the GL350 bluetec braking components different? Let me know as I'm interested in getting Brembo BBK for my GL350.
Thank You in advance.

depends on the weather
wow ...
finally a question which requires some thought ...
it's been awhile since we have seen one of these ...

While none of the larger brake manufacturers list a BBK for the GL350 all of the do have them for theGL450 and GL550. I will need to do some checking to see if those listed for the 450 and 550 would work on the 350 Bluetec.

I will post a follow up when I know more


stay tuned
