C32 Brake upgrade
Re: C32 Brake upgrade
Lantana, I have a question for you. I tried to install my C32 brakes last Friday but was stopped by my brake hose. The fittings on my stock hoses bolt directly into the caliper but my C32 Calipers have a block looking adapter with a bolt in the middle. Were your's the same? I ordered C32 brake hoses, This should work right?

Hi,
my C55 caliper havn´t any adapter too. In the case of hoses I order this STAHLFLEX BREMSLEITUNGEN MERCEDES SLK CLK C208 C209 ABE bei eBay.de: Bremsenteile (endet 22.02.10 22:30:58 MEZ)
regards V8 Max

Sorry I sounded like a tool. Thank you for educating me. I thought those calipers had staggered pistons. I thought the leading pistons are smaller than the trailing pistons.
I learned something.
I'll have to get a look at those some time.

Brakes look very good. With 20mm spacers, do the wheels stick out?

Wheels are flush with the fender. I had to remove the top screw that holds the inner fender skin, bend the tab up and push up on the plastic liner until it snaps above the tab. No rubbing thru suspension travel as the wheel cambers-in as it goes up. Sorry about the dirty car.... I'm heading to the car wash right now!
