I believe the SLK55's 6 piston fronts are 23lbs I think they're made out of unobtainium and that's why they're so damn expensive.

I knew there was a cause for all these problems. Leave them alone and don't pick up anymore unobtainium. No wonder we have problems!! Ha, Ha. Roll EYES!!

you get a nice discount from the tribe if you have a green 32!! the 6 piston front calipers and the racing brake 340mm rotors weigh 9 lbs per side less than the 2 piston 330mm rotor setup. 18 lbs total lighter and adding 8 more pistons and 10mm rotor size!! the rear setup actually adds 5 lbs per side but your adding 30mm rotor size and 2 more pistons per side

Knocking on it!!! LMAO...

That's assuming the pucker-moment was a freebie, too... heart-attacks can be 'spensive

Your end result is stunning though, I love 'em. Only thing that would make them better is a gloss finish.
