Many parts are interchangeable with other M.B. systems but when you get into 4+ piston calipers and floating rotors the cost starts to get on the silly side.
Only suggestion I might have is if your going to do the conversation, one might want to look into getting a set of slotted or cross-drilled rotors since the cost of some of the quality aftermarket units are not much more than the OEM ones. While it probably won't do much for overall braking performance, it adds a nice touch to the car...
Slotted will actually help for performance braking applications... Four-six equally spaced slots will "SWEEP" the brake dust away from the pad and disc surface. Drilled rotors have a tendency of cracking at high temps on the track, so I steer clear of them. I plan on machining the slots in the OEM discs at my shop... Also, we usually grind a trough into the discs to 1/32" deep that matches the swept area of the pad... Helps make a small canyon that grabs the edges of the pad as well as the surface of the pad...
