Hi I'm new here. I need to get hold of some brake caliper brackets for my rear caliper on my E55, which I'm swapping out the 330mm disc to the E63 brake disc, which are 360mm.

Need help, need to know where I can get hold of brackets. Also if one can paste a how to link of anyone who may have already done this mod.

Thank you
 
Sorry forgot to mention, I would be keeping the original e55 stub axle but just need the aftermarket brackets
 
As far as I know rear calipers are single piece and don’t use brackets like the front calipers do. You’d have to take the original calipers off and compare the bolt pattern to that of E63. They might be the same.

On a side note, are you upgrading the fronts too?
 
Slightly off topic but given Alex's comment about the fronts ..

I have a GLC63s with the Ceramic Brake option. Only the fronts are ceramic - the rear disk / pads are the same as the standard brakes for GLC63 (and I've checked the part numbers) - of course the callipers are gold instead of silver or red. Vehicle still stops amazingly .. In fact getting back into non ceramic cars gives me a fright the first time I brake !

So what I'm saying is that its the front brakes are really important to do ..

I've had a quick look at EPC parts catalogue for W211 E63 and there are no brackets, and the rear Axle carrier for E55 and E63 are both same part number (and I think that's what the brakes bolt to but I'm not a mechanic only do electronics ...)

Thank you for the responses and also for checking the part numbers. So they run same hubs!

My rear calipers are 9cm from one centre bolt hole to the other centre bolt hole. As hub are same, I reckon the spread for both calipers are the same but could be different in height and length.

The e55 disc size is 330mm, thickness 36mm, height 64.5mm and the e63 disc size is 360mm, thickness 26mm, height 68.3mm.

Probably can't use the stock e55 calipers with the e63 discs??? Might need to swap out the calipers too.

Goodish news for the fronts though. I am looking at the ML63 w166 front disc which has the same hat height at 54.3mm as the e55.

They did a performance 390mm disc version for the ML63 and GL63 but I need the parts number for that and not the standard 370mm.
