6 Piston AMG calipers - Benzworld.org

I have been wondering with alot of people going with the 4 piston C32 front brake set up. Has anyone ever thought of using the brakes off of the 171 slk55 or the clk55?? Being that the 4 piston set is a direct bolt on i cant see why the slk 6 piston calipers wouldnt work along with the great looking rotors they have? What do you guys think?

Why not go all out with an 8-piston?

May want to try a search -- not sure if it was here or at MBworld, but someone in the forum did this exact mod from the SLK, and it looked fantastic. There is a thread with pics. Of course it really necessitates a different wheel as well since the the monoblocks hide everything.

Three W210s and a W208 Have been converted to the Six Piston Caliper set up....and Four piston rear calipers
Didnt change the master cylinder....It Stops Great!

Also added AMG E55 Brakes to my wagon..again didnt change the master cylinder
it also stops GREAT!

No Change in Pedal Effort...Just the stopping distance
