Here's a parts list for those interested:

- Front Calipers - 2005+ CLK55 or SLK55
- Rear Calipers - 2005+ CLK55 or SLK55

- Front Rotors - Raybestos 980100 - CLK32 345mm (instead of the uber expensive 340's) - I bought them on Amazon for $95 each.

I finally found a supplier for Ceramic pads for the 6 piston calipers. I installed a set (front and rear) this morning and I'm really liking them. They have a great initial bite and the dust should be almost nonexistent.


- Front 6 piston Ceramic pads: $52
