Default Bolt-on big brake upgrad from SLK55

Here you go. These are very rare and hard to find. I have a similar setup on my car that was removed from a CLK55.

Ah jeez... I would have hoped for a closer sale. Wonder what shipping over the pond looks like...

Great find! I am always looking for a set of front 6pots to pop up on eBay or one of the forums. I already have S600 4pot rears and and CLK55 4pot fronts, and can retain the same front rotor for the SLK55 6pots

Seller responded to my shipping question. I hope one of us gets these.

Hi,

Shipping would be approximately £150.00 with FedEx.
You are liable for any duties/taxes.
Transit time is roughly 3 days.

Kind regards

Jo

I believe the fronts are a direct bolt-on and the rear are also, except they require a sleeve due to our smaller diameter bolts.

I drilled and tapped the rear spindles to accommodate the correct 12mm bolt.

I will have to check yours out next time up there. That is on the wish list. Although we did fine at the half mile event. Now going round and round might change my mind.

Yeah...I did it because I got the pair for under $200 shipped. I then stripped them and painted them. Looks a lot nicer on the car and holds a little better at the strip.

If the bid stays you could get these shipped for about $1,500.00. BUT you would have to pay import tax and fees on top of that.

I also, backed out. Felt the courier pricing was a bit high.

I have those exact same AMG 6 pot front & 4 pot rear calipers available (taken off a 2006 SLK55). Includes the installed used brake pads and the mounting bolts (no rotors) I decided I really don't need the extra braking power so not worth it to me to go to the effort and expense of installing them. $1,800.00 FIRM delivered via fully insured FedEx to anywhere in CONUS. E-mail me at RedDogNumber1@aol.com if you want them.

Yeah I'd like to see those installed as well!

What mods do you have now anyway?
