Is the SRT setup identicle to the SLK32 setup?

If so, you will need 4 extra bolts, at least I did (I did this upgrade 2 weeks ago). The mounting points on the rear calipers are nearly twice as thick as OEM and your existing bolts will not work, you will need longer ones, but any auto parts store will have them. Also, we had to modify the dust shields in the front because the calipers would not clear with the mounting points. If you are painting the calipers, please use caution. I did mine in a friends paint booth with a thicker paint formulated for calipers, and after 4 coats, the few millimeters of paint that was on the calipers made the clips stick out just enough to where they were 'clicking' on the back of my OEM wheels. The setup is extremely close to the back of the OEM wheel. All is worked out now, but what a pain I made for myself....

Damn are these brakes insane on a limited, I can only imagine what your feel like Lantana
