Thanks.
Yes, mine are 4 piston. They were plug & play.
I have seen other slk's here with larger calipers than mine on the front & also on the rear they have fitted Brembo 4 pot calipers. But they would have tweaked something to make them fit.
I think the good thing about Brembo is that you can order the exact replacement part from them, everything has a part #stampted on it. Even the rotors have different sizes as well, mine are not the largest rotors available for the kit, there is a larger size as well.
I know this because the people at Brembo told me, I ordered some extra nuts for the mounting bracket cause I used a wrong size socket to tighten them up & rounded them.
They are not cheap with parts that's for sure $9 a nut & need 4 of them. they were kind of special ones.
You won't be disappointed if you buy the Brembo BB kit, i can tell you that much.
