New Calipers

[Guest Cerano]

Hi bros,

Im intending to change my calipers but what kind should i change to?

Can the Brembo 6 pot fit a 17"?

[Guest 9339]

Why Brembo ? Try the AMG might be cheaper than Brembo and should be cheaper too.

[Guest Cerano]

AMG how much ah

[Guest ehwwong]

bro, AMG calipers is around 10K region for 6 pots back and front.

Eh? I thought around $6k plus?

[Guest ehwwong]

front + back ??

maybe i hear wrong price.. hehe

[Guest upandcoming]

talking about which...can the amg package's ventilated disc and mercedes benz logo calips be installed aftermarket or at MBC SG?

[Guest Cerano]

Usually do you replace all 4 or just the front 2?

[Guest ehwwong]

@upandcoming

if you go aftermarket, might as well change to something better like BBK (big brake kit), don't think C&C carry it as an option but i may be wrong!

@Cerano

For me... if i really want to change, i will change the front first.. then save more $$$ and get the back later. On a serious note, i think its better front and back if your wallet allow because merc is FR and the power comes from the rear wheel.. although front is more important when comes to braking and steering but i guess you need better brakes for the back too.

On a side note, will fitting a BBK affect things like BAS and other safety feature of the car?

If got budget, can starts with the front only, paint the rear with the front matching color. AMG is almost the same price as Brembo, i would go for Brembo. If you die die wanna see the AMG thingy, place sticker, cheap and nice on yr new caliper!!!!

U got to ask yrself, why u need a BBK? for the look or stopping power??

[keltanky]

Actually AMG are made by Brembo :clap: :clap:

[Guest Cerano]

Wah so ex for brake calipers ah. Wow

Now recession :pray:

[Guest ehwwong]

Actually AMG are made by Brembo :clap: :clap:

icic... then i rather buy brembo if it is the same price.. hehe, the BBK GTR series damm swee swee.. anyway, realistically the stock brake good enuff liao.. if for cosmetic reasons, then too $$$$$$$

[Guest upandcoming]

haha well im looking for just the AMG kit stock kinda front one..i would say more for looks than any real effect =)

bro wong dun forget me if u wanna do changes!!

[Guest ehwwong]

bro wong poo kai liao lah.... maybe i just buy the brembo cover and stick it on?? haha :ky: :asshole:

[Guest upandcoming]

haha then store power first!

[Guest Cerano]

The stock ones good enough meh? :death:

[Guest CBlack]

the C63 AMG BBK is about the same price as the Brembo BBK ie around 10K (front 6 back 4).

[Guest ehwwong]

The stock ones good enough meh? :death:

mai tu liao, get the C63 BBK... :tazzie: :tazzie:

bro, you ever consider getting a 4 pot instead of a 6? cheaper and 6 pot (or even 6-4 combi) might be a bit of an overkill if you do not intend to upgrade the performance of your car in the long run. to enhance your stopping power, just slap on a set of good tyres along wif the 4 pot brembos and your are ready to rock.

Oh i think ill do the 6 pot for the front and leave stock for the back.

Is there a 4pot for AMG? how much?

I already have good tyres (Pirelli P Zero Rosso)

actually, like what kelvin pointed out, AMG = Brembo ;D the only difference is maybe by slapping on the AMG badge, it gives the manufacturer the right to mark up the price IMHO ;D

i cant really give you the exact price, its been a while, but i think i paid around $4500 for my brembos 4 pots, and i got that from my agent, Premium Automobiles some time back. but i am pretty sure you can get it at a better price elsewhere. another thing to note is you have to ensure that the calipers will clear your 17" rims, and clearance from what i understand, depends on size of rims and layout of spokes.

[Guest ehwwong]

is the stock caliper a 2 port or 4 port?

[Guest LeeCH]

In the case of your car, it is 4 pot.
