Thing is, I just don't know what the balance would be with C32 fronts and these monsters in the back. If I had some 6-pot fronts lying around, I'd MAKE these fit the budget. I'd be Steve's lawn boy for a year... something LOL.

Also, no other option for rotors other than OEM SLK55 ($$$)

Oh, that and I have to figure out how much that last thunderstorm will end up costing me.

Too many mods, too little $$$

Bump for a great seller.
I have the C32 set up in the front and AMG four pots on the back. IT IS AWESOME! One thing I discovered when I had only the C32 up front was that I was getting heat checking on the rear rotors. The rears were coming into play before the front and over heating the rear. I didn't feel this in the brake balance becasue the rears on a n/a are worthless. Once I put the SLK55 rotor and four pots on the back the entire car was better and stopped much better. It seemed like having the rears correct allowed the fronts to really work better. You do not need six pots to run these. The C32 caliper has larger pistons so the total surface area of the pistons are the same. You do need to upgrade your front to use these. With these you can run run the dragon all day without giving your brakes a thought while you inhale the fumes from the Crossfires running stock brakes.
