Default Will these calipers fit. Expert help needed.

I'd read on here that SL500 calipers will fit the front with the SRT6 rotors (not with the NA rotors), so I bought them. Now that I've bought them I realize they look a little different than the C32 type calipers I'd seen mentioned.

Anyway, can some of you experts on the subject help me out?

Also, I don't believe the pad locating pins or or other parts are included. Where can I buy them and are they going to cost me an arm and leg?

Thanks as always!

Anthony

Here's the link to the auction I won:

I think they use a 330mm rotor.. and the rears are 300 or 315.. I dont think you can get the rears on without a custom mount. as for the fronts, they would need to be spaced with washers and a longer caliper bolt.

I agree the C32's or authentic SL500's would fit and need to be spaced, but are these really either?

No, the C32 are a direct fit, no spacers needed.. those you bought use a or around a 330mm rotor and need to be spaced out cause of the off set.The C32/C55 and new SLK55 use a 4pot caliper with a 345mm rotor. a direct upgrade for the crossfire

So you viewed the front calipers in the link and I'm good to go with spacers, right? Thanks!

Do you have any idea where I can find the hardware?

you will need to find a rotor that will work, possibly a CLK500 rotor, I think they use a 330mm x 32 rotor.
When you get the calipers the number 330 should be imprinted on the center casting.
As for the hardware, most likely dealer parts.
