Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

[hvyman]

Do 114.5 rims work with these with no problems then even though th they are 5x112? Sorry I'm dense on somethings lol

The wheel bolt pattern is unchanged.

Question, just to clear things up. The 5x112 rotors doesn't need to be modified to fit our hubs, studs? Also, remembering seeing this on the FB page, one can use the 350z rotors too or no. Thanks for finally putting this on SM. FB is so hard to keep track and search.

No because the wheel studs on the suv mercedes are bigger than the standard ones like the e500 so they just slide on with no grinding or machining.

Id assume you could use the track rotors as well but i dont see the point. And i have never tried.

Sounds good. Thanks for clarifying hvyman and dubsupra209

kyle, will the setup clear fn01rc +35 up front?

Might be worthwhile to buy the caliper first, remove the brake pads, mount and test fit with your wheel. I'm not sure that will work though? I have Work Meister S1 with +42 offset that I'm hoping will work with this setup. Pricing items out for me up in Canada this setup is running about $600 with shipping and good components (drilled and slotted plus good pads). Very reasonable in my opinion.

nice find!!! looks like a much better option than the cobra brakes that only have two 42mm pistons iirc that don't end up making that much more braking force than stock. and these look like the pad covers more of the rotor too. what hub centric rings work for sure?

and it looks like you use the Mercedes brake line? but can't tell forsure.

no clue. buy everything and find out.

no stock brake lines. I used pics from dubsupras car, which is not fully operational atm. But they are installed on my other friends car with 2jz vvti making 615hp and is a dd.

I used some of the hard plastic hub rings. there very strong and i had to sand them a little bit to get a better fit with an older rotor and the hub. Metal would also work fine and would be more durable. Up to you.

I just bought these, lets hope these are right

Those are them.

 

[SideWinderGX]

That pic of the 17" RPF1 makes it seem like there's a ton of space between the caliper and the rim. Anyone have some 16" rims lying around, sawblades even?

 

[fonz87]

how is the stopping than OEM? pedal feel? i m only looking for good stopping power than OEM, not looking to drag or road race.

Those are them.

 

[schmuckingham]

I really want to try these even though I have a Cobra brake setup sitting here already, much more piston on these. I just hope they would fit my Sterns

 

[hvyman]

Pedal feel is normal. Stops like normal when you need to and when stops much faster when you need to. Also won't fade or warp as easy.

(stock) single 60mm - 2827 mm^2

(benz) 2x44, 2x40mm - 5533 mm^2, 96% bigger

brake rotor 26.5 lbs for the 2012 Mercedes Benz R350

Hi SideWinder, where did you get these dimensions from?

My other sports car is an E46 M3 convertible and that car stops amazingly compared to the supra. The front rotor is something like 12.9" I believe and the weight of the convertible is almost exactly the same as the MK3 supra, so I would anticipate with this upgrade that I would or should have the same stopping power as my M3 (fingers crossed). I'd love to find out more stats on the M3 brake system so I could try and replicate or beat it for the supra.
Thx.

When you look on rockauto and search for calipers and rotors, centric (from memory) has a small picture with dimensions next to their item. Our front calipers have one 60mm piston and the mercedes calipers are 4 pots, 2 are 44mm and 2 are 40mm according to the pictures.

You also have to take into account brake torque (distance from the center of the rotor at which the force is applied), and since these rotors are slightly larger than stock that increases as well. With good pads you'll have enough stopping power to lock up the front tires if you want to.

Would you happen to know the width and offset dimension of that 17" RPF1 wheel? I have mine in 17X9 +35 and I was wondering if that example is a similar size

 

[dubsupra209]

Rim fits on there but caliper hit the inside of the rim, rim still spins but touchs caliper.

 

[SideWinderGX]

They fit but they rub? What do you mean the inside of the wall rubs?

Just curious, thanks!

 

[bluebullet89]

So this is for the fronts of course. besides the Evo rear brembo upgrade, are there any others that would work. i remember seeing a thread that had a list of all the brake upgrade possibilities.

Also... i just purchased some ES2's (TE37 reps) 9.5 and 10.5 18's +22 offset.. I should be good to throw on the benz brakes i would think. they are a pretty concaved wheel.

Thanks Sidewinder. I checked out Rock Auto and surprisingly the M3's caliper is a single pot 60mm as well, crazy!
