I fully agree with you. Any recommendation on the brand and price?

I had C32 AMG front brakes on my previous W203.

Benzline used to sell them for about $2000+ for the front.

That include installation plus stainless steel brake hoses SSBH

IIRC 4 pots with drill/slot and AMG logo on the calipers

Benzline probably can assist U!

To me this is one big good bang for your $$$$!

Look for Macwell our site sponsor, they do carry quite a comprehensive brand for brake hose.

Bro, I am actually looking for cheaper alternatives like SSBH and slotted rotor mod. I'm thinking of ordering the parts on-line and install here. Do you have any reliable workshop to recommend?

If U buy SSBH from Benzline, they will probably direct U to AutoSpritze.

Not to sure they sell drilled or slotted rotors.

U might wanna search the net.

IMHO the C32 AMG BBK c/w SSBH & installation at $2k is a steal.

4 pots caliper with drilled rotors.

Start with good new pads then add the SSBH just make sure your braking system is properly bled before figuring out if you need a BBK imo. That there alone should save ya a couple of grand. Checkout EBC green stuff for brake pads good stuff or theres always trusty ole merc OEM pads.

Bro, $2k for C32 AMG BBKc/w SSBH and installation is really very good price. Where can I get it?

I just called Benzline, Eric quoted me Merc AMG BBK w/o SSBH for $1800 + 7% GST and he can recommend an installer (not sure is AutoSpritze) for $250.

I have used EBC green brake pad before. To be truely effective, it has to be used with slotted rotor and SSBH. But the only complaint I have is too much brake dusts. This is cheaper solution compared to more expensive BBK. Even with BBK, the improvement in braking is about 40% to 50%. I was using 6 pot mini BBK previously.

Bro, I can speak to George. But his company only sell spare parts. I don't think $2k includes BBK, SSBH and installation. U got any installers to recommend?

Last time our policemen wear kaki shorts for uniform, they sold me the C32AMG brakes c/w SSBH & installation @ Superworkshop for exactly $2k.

Benzline nowadays work with Autospritze! U will be in good hands!

U either look for boz Dennis or the "police station sergeant Ah Heng"

It's a snake pit! Lots of poisons!:lol:

Last time got gst lah,

George from Benzline always gimme "dealer price" cos long time customer.

Get Benzline to confirm for U that the C32 AMG BBK can fit your 2006 C200.

If they say can fit, it will fit or else they will not sell U!

"Trust Benzline!"

For my previous W203, they sold me the wrong exos for the M271 engine with one for M111 engine. They instructed the workshop to dismantle and fly in the correct one for me with apologies! This is how responsible they can be!:hand:

Finally installed the AMG BBK on my ride. Luckily the caliper cleared my 17 inch rim nicely. I'm running in the rotor and brake pad now. I have also changed to SSBH for the front and rear brake. For the sake of safety, I think it is worth the investment.

Bro Kepiting1sg, no problem. Milo dinosaur on me next time. Actually I collected it on Monday around 4.30pm but already too late to install. So today took leave to install. I'm very happy with the AMG BBK. Thanks for linking me to George. Cheers!
