Bolt on Big Brake Kit For around 300$.

[Nick Squire]

alright I bit the bullet before this guy realizes all his calipers are selling like wildfire and he decides to increase the price I have a set of 17 inch Enkei rims so I`ll check out the fitment on those, thanks for the tip.

Thanks for the info, I just bought a set ��
But I already started on a kit with ls400 callipers which requires brackets so these will be easier to install

 

[supraguy@aol]

Where are you guys buying the hubcentric spacers?

 

[drogon]

I found them on eBay http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=201140980731

anyone try fitting the mkiv wheels with this setup? wouldn't it be easier also to run wheel spacers to clear with sawblades instead of grinding the caliper?

 

[black89t]

Black89t you cannot use a rotor that goes more inward very much farther as it will hit the knuckle for the mounts for the tie rod and ball joints.

i ordered a set of rotors that should be here monday. then i can see what size spacer i need exactly. im going to run the spacer then possibly get different wheels in the future.

yeah id run a spacer before grinding things

You must have bought the pair i was watching! No matter i paid 36 for one and 40 for the other. 76 seems to be the norm. Or atleast it was. Im pretty excited to get this kit on once weather breaks. Trying to decide if i want to do the evo/subaru rears to have matching brembos or mk4 TT rears?

I just bought a pair of calipers for $70 that are in grade A condition. Going to test fit with my wheels before buying any of the other equipment. I have Work Meister with +42 offset. They will probably be fine but just in case.

I just got my pair and jumped up on the scale to compare with the ls400. The merc calipers weigh 4.3 kg each and the ls400 weigh 3.3 kg each.
The merc calipers are put together with 4 parts, 2 parts in the middle which is the mounting part and made of steel and then the two outer which houses the pistons seem to be made of aluminum.

[Eskimo]

Same ones I got slowma70

 

[vCo2v]

anyone who has this on right now care to review how these works compared to stock?

 

[bluebullet89]

Just bought a set myself. $60 shipped. comes with everything nicely enough.

I have the Varrstoen ES2 (te37 reps) and i'll post up pics when i get it all together.

considering these rotors... http://www.ebay.com/itm/FRONT-2-PREMIUM-PERFORMANCE-DRILLED-SLOTTED-ZINC-PLATED-BRAKE-ROTORS-Mercedes-/291327267258?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&fits=Model%3AR350&hash=item43d47551ba&vxp=mtr
their video makes some good points and the seem to be quality rotors.

Do they have to be the 2012 year specifically for the R350? or will other years/models work

 

[slowma70]

Those wont fit they are 350mm you need them to be 330mm.

 

[mk3 salty]

anyone running big rear brakes as well, i need to replace all 4 + rotors and brake lines this year and looking at options, glad i found this though. Thanks for the information.

 

[hvyman]

use the evo calipers with sti rotors or mk4 rears.

 

[Nick Squire]

quick question, how are you guys going on about cleaning your used calipers, I tried soapy water and brake cleaner so far

 

[YYCSupra]

I saw pretty good DIY on YouTube or How To.com. It went through cleaning and painting.
