im back! its been awhile

[Christopher]

so my black brabus has just been sitting there for about a solid year maybe even two, i decided its time to part out and get rid of it. the suspension and AMG brake system is worth more than the car is, so im swapping it into my C36. i did not have a spring compressor so im only half way done but ill post some pics of the progress. http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/Chrisromero/mercedes%20063.jpg (http://smg.photobucket.com/user/Chrisromero/media/mercedes%20063.jpg.html)

hey chris

looks like you have a blast in the sun.
did you have a beer fest with your buddies while you did the brakejob on your car?

did your c32 calipers clear your Brabus rims without spacers?
Brabus rims are they 18 inch rims?

i apprechiate if you would take some nice photos from different angles of your whole car showing those AMG calipers.
we have the same rims but mine are staggered split edition rims with titanium bolts.

i'm waiting to get my calipers installed in the near decade or so?

you put the left caliper on right side and........?

thanks

no beer just Lexus people working on Mercedes, calipers do clear perfect with brabus rims with adapter, I need bigger adapters in the front to clear the moonoblocks.
yes they are 18"
the cars are both facing each overtook off the left and installed on left of the other car

the rim adpter you refer to is the hubcentric spacer pushed into the back of the rim?
this adapter makes the rim sit perfect on hub, this is what you're using, right?

if this is not the adapter I'm talking about, how thick are your spacers?
18 inch AMG rims with ET31 don't clear C32 calipers without a 3 mm spacer.

Our Brabus Monoblock V rims have ET35, I believe this wouldn't be a problem clearing C32 calipers.
do spokes clear caliper housing?

[Christopher]

yeah it's spacer I always get them confused lol it's the 4th picture and it fits like a glove, I want my monoblocks though, so I guess I need to find 3mm adapters.. I think I have some that I tried but it doesn't clear the caliper.. these are not the e55 amg rims there off an sclass so it's hard to get them to fit right as it is

it's a very thick spacer you have on picture 4, you don't need any spacers for Brabus rims.
only thing you need is the factory Brabus metal o-ring pushed into back of the wheel for rim to sit perfect on wheelhub.

if you use monoblocks this thick spacer will probably clear your calipers, many times using spacers on hub is a not a good thing as you need to buy longer bolts if they end up too short?

I'll try to take a better picture when I get home but there's no way the brabus rim will fit without that spacer, it almost touches as it is
