Question on Braket..Brembos?

I was wondering if anyone can give me some insight. THere is someone selling some new porsche brakes made by brembo. They are 14' and have six piston calipars. He said that they can make custom bases so that i can fit my W209 CLK. Is this possible or am i just gonna get ripped off. Anyone have any insight. Thanks

If i had a 350hp+ car. Then for sure, yes, i would buy a 8 piston GT kit. But no need for a car that dosent need such good brakes. I think 14' is good. Besides, this deal i found was very affordable and i just wanna check if it can fit my car before i buy them. Thanks

it should be fine... we have some porsche brakes available for volvos with a modified caliper mounting bracket. the good thing is, porsche pads and rotors (oem and aftermarket) can be had just about anywhere...can't say the same thing about bb kits
