Brake Conversions Kits?

[sinewave]

Now I've got my 19" AMG rims fitted on Supersports the brake calipers are looking rather rusty and weedy to say the least!

Are there any reasonable priced brake conversions kits out there which aren't stupid money like the Brembo GT kit!

Yes I know I could just paint the calipers but standard Merc calipers don't exactly fill the huge cavernous space behind the 19" rims.

KSPORTS seem reasonably priced but have read a few bad reports on disc uniformity and general lack of customer support?

I've seen enough dead sets of KSports in my time to avoid like the plague.

Ask yourself this...are your brakes somewhere where you want to be skimping?

Filling the wheels can be accomplished with bigger discs, but you need to bear in mind how they integrate into the rest of the existing setup. You want to make things better, not worse.

Hi

Its all about the budget...but last time I was checking big brake kits, these guys were cheaper and I know a few people that used them (not on Mercs) and so far all is good.

If the budget is tighter than Jean claude van damme' trousers in the Coors Ad and you have some mechanical knowledge, then you could always pick up some 4/6 pot calipers ex Maserati gt 3200/ 4200, they have the same centre hole to centre hole distance as the Mercedes mounting distance 110mm (unless the newer e class models have a different mounting distance). the disc height (offset) is 64mm and I believe yours is 60mm. It would require fine tuning but can be done.

brembo 4 piston 330x32 vs W124 295x22 ATE 4 piston

hope this helps

Why not fit the E63 kit?

It would be cheaper to have the Brembo kit I think!

Sorry to sound like a cracked record but ...

Do check with your insurer first. This sort of thing can cause them to spit the dummy!!

There was a kit recently on ebay going for less than 1000 pounds. But you pay your money and take your choice...
