    Check my new AMG brakes...

    Hello hello my friends!

    Well it's been a long time since I last posted you updates of my ride, and this week was full of it...

    C32AMG w203 complete set of front brakes:





    As you can see, the calipers are made by BREMBO




    See here the rotors' difference


    Given the opportunity, I replaced the rear rotors as well


    So here are the results... (PS pics were taken after installation... so that's why the car's dirty as hell)





    I hope you like them...

    Cheerzzz

    Looks great! My CLK550 front and rear brakes (essentially the same as yours, larger in the rear), will be going on next week hopefully!

    How's the difference with braking?

    He didnt mention anything about the installation process but I think it definitely needs some modifications since the rotor is larger. Im not sure though.

    Nope. Simple bolt in.

    anyone have part numbers and/or price for a complete set.front and rear?

    and do the drilled rotors come with the c32 amg brakes?or do you have to buy those seperately, as an aftermarket item?

    do you have to get new brake lines, and esp/abs control unit/regulator?


    will they fit a c43 without modifications?and are there any other options as far as amg goes, for even bigger brakes and calipers, or are the c32 ones the best, thatll fit?can you get different colors for the calipers?



    lots of questions.thanks for any input

    They bolt right up. Period. They come with the drilled rotors. You can repaint them yourself any color. They are in the area of $800-900 dealer cost. The only thing prohibiting them from fitting would be your wheel size/offset.

    so in other words, bigger wheels, and smaller tires?what sizes would work?


    also, anyone have part numbers, or should i just ask the dealer for a complete set?

    Search on this board C32 brakes and Nokia has a post with all of the part numbers. No need for longer lines or anything else. You'll need at least a 17" wheel or larger.

    Must the dust sheild be cut or massaged?

    I know a lot of people try to put C32 brakes on the w124 chassis with really mixed or butchered results. It's nice that a late model upgrade can be put on something without any problems.

    Only on the rear (for C32 brakes) the dust shield needs to be cut and longer caliper mounting bolts need to be purchased (for my C230 anyway). The fronts bolt up 100%.

    and the esp/abs control unit/regulator will work just fine, or is it better to upgrade to the c32 regulator?
