STOPTECHs are niiiiiiiiiiiiceeee..... only thing im not a fan of is that if you ever decide to upgrade the rear..they dont have a matching kit for the rear of the R170. looks like u got em used and for a great price..... post pics when all is installed!!!

Yeah, I dont wanna change the breaks cuz I want more stopping power, I think that the OME breaks are good. But like Bruce said...it's for the looks

That's the point having 19" open wheels if you have small pussy breaks inside? That dont add up

There's nothing wrong with that, just seems like a lot of money..... Of course you can't really lose anything by having big brakes....

Well, one thing...I cant use my 16" winter wheels any more

Small price to pay; those calipers look f'n great! I really dig the look, and I'm sure they perform. I took the poor man's way out and painted my calipers on my Del Sol in College. Looked like shit and the brake shop said I did them a real disservice. I know he was full of shit, but gotta pay to play I suppose...

True, but the car looks good sitting in the garage...............

If you want better performance just get some SLK32 brakes, like many others have.

Hmm well i would more like the engine for the slk32 `` But its to late now, but do any have a picture of the front caliper for the slk32?

Will this do?

SLK32 Brakes

Keep in mind that 17" wheels are required to clear the calipers....
