Default which Mercedes Brakes are best

Hi Guy's, looking to upgrade my brakes and have seen articles on here for SLK55, C32, and C63 brakes fitted to the crossfire, which are the biggest and easiest to fit? What do you have to do to the calipers as on Mercedes the brakes are on the other side of the wheel to the crossfire? I am hoping to fit AMG wheels as well so any info regarding both these together would be a big help.

I suppose someone might answer based on what they have done, I had to search to find you have an NA.
It is best to supply all the info you can and make it easier for someone to answer you.

Search "345 4 piston calipers" and look at the threads by Grip and Lantana. You should find answers and lots of good info.

Hi guy's, even that link doesn't work. I understand that the slk55 calipers are big, how big are the c63 and c32 calipers in relation to each other?

CLK55 or SLK55 for the win. Just make sure they are the 6 pots up front. Here's a writeup on when I installed mine: https://www.crossfireforum.org/forum...e-upgrade.html

Thanks for that, your car looks great and the brakes are massive. It seems that those brakes are like rocking horse sh-t to find. What size are your wheels?
