- I upgraded the brakes on my CLS400 and so can you. You can make these upgrades with various models; from C300 to C43, E350 to E550 / CLS550, and more! Just make sure all part numbers coincide. Any 63 model upgrades (ex. C63, E63, G63) may require adapter brackets to mount the calipers, as well as additional changes. Upgrading to a higher model's, however, is not nearly as pricey, as well as provides a significant improvement! In the case of these 550 upgrades, the rotor is in fact the same size as the 63 models, with the exception being the 2-piece upgrade.

Will these rotors fit a 212 e550?
Man that’s looks awesome!
Breaking distance is unchanged. All modern brakes, the tinniest ones, have the power to easily lock the wheel. The abs system will apply just enough force to stop the car with both brake designs in the same distance. The mass of the car is the same and the tire grip is the same, there's no reason for the distance of breaking to get better. I do agree that at very high speeds, I can see how a larger brake and disc can impact that since there's more lag to slow down a fast spinning chunk of metal and the larger components and more friction area can make a difference, but even then in testing, the results weren't that big unless you're going 300kmph+
Agree and would add that the larger brakes and rotors come in to play for heat dispersion, but that only matters during racing. Commonly driven vehicles don't need the extra, but I can appreciate how people WANT that look. That's the nice thing about cars... totally unique to the owner's desires... form over function, or function over form... or simply "I have loads of money and want to pimp my ride." That's why I love cars.
Thanks for the video this is exactly what I want to do since I bough the 400, the v6 with turbos were fast enough for me to have the fun but that OE brakes could not handle the heat after a few hard braking and start fading easily, notice the continental tires that you are using how is that comparing to the stock P Zero’s summer tire?
I use these continentals all year (we have winter) with my w204 and this, I think they're fantastic.
I got a few rock chips on my CF brake caliper, the color is exactly like yourself. What kind of painting did you use? What is the color code? Thank you.
Hi awesome video! I have a 2019 c300 base non sport, non 4matic and I bought 2017 c43 calipers. What size rotors would I need? Also would it fit my stock rims. Thanks in advance
Nice work ... Could you give me information or exact code for the calipers color ? I would like make same color like this just i need the color code :)
Great video. I’m trying to do 63 front calipers on my 550 but can’t find the right brackets. I already have 63 rear calipers. They were plug and play.
Epytec sells what you need
So I’ve got some front 8 piston rotors off a 2007 clk63 amg black series. I believe the rotors are the biggest they offer.. 380mm? Aside from wheel clearance.. is there anyone that would make the bracket for the rotors to fit the 2019 c43 amg? Or would it be best to sell the two rotors and calipers and just go with a different setup?
You can install rear brakes too, you can use this rear calipers:
From c63 w204, e55 w211, e63 w211, cls55 w219, cls63 w219
With w211 e53/63 brake disk, all will be bolt on
Or you can use w212/w218 amg rear kit, but it will be little bit expensive
How did you discover that e55 rear calipers will work on a cls400?
@@ergysferruku6206 i installed it many times on my car and my friends cars
@bawsehawg5118yes, but will need bracket for the fronts
Which ones will work on rear for 2014 E350 coupe..?
@@igosmart-proigsp9526 you can use 4 pot rear calipers from w211 e55/e63, w219 cls55/cls63, w204 c63, and w221 s600 4 pot rear calipers too; and you also need new brake discs and pads for this calipers; you need w211 e55/e63 rear discs and pads
*We have the SAME car. What is your IG? I just ordered this set up. Good channel bro!*
Was looking for the parts list...
Hi great tutorial, would you please share the part numbers for the rotors and bake pads
Just search for cls 550 rotors or pads. If u still need help I'll send u rock auto link.
Nice upgrade!
Any options for the rear?
Rears are the same as 550
Which color and brand are you using?
I’m curious did you also change the rear caliper to the larger one I never got a clear view of that ? If so was that a hassle or issue and what needs to be done to do that ?
Cls 400 and cls 550 have same rear calipers
What color paint did you use?
That Color is about the most gorgeous one I have ever seen 😍
I have a E350 coupe 2014 4matic and I would absolutely do this modification. Have anyone here have done that mod on my model ?
If so, what is the exact model of calipers to get ?
Cls 550 w218 or e550 w212 calipers. I can shoot u link. You'll also need e550 rotors
I need to do this for my e350. Braking sucks.
Does anybody know torque value for the two front 18mm disk brake caliper bolts? 2014 CLS550. Getting mixed messages, 110 nm and 180 nm. Thanks
Where you get them from
awesome video! I have a 2016 non-4matic 6 cyc E400. Wondering if I could do an upgrade like that?
Yes
yes
@ProjectAuto where did you buy the ///AMG stickers for your calipers from?
Ebay
@ProjectAuto Mine is a CLS400, what brake lines are needed? You mentioned something about the length of the 4matic vs rwd being different.
Btw I purchased everything you listed. But before I crack into it. Need to know about the brake line.
as long as you get the same kind you dont need to change line. my cls400 was 4matic so I got 4matic calipers. No need to change.
@ProjectAuto im in trouble, I got rwd and bought 4matic calipers.
I have a 2014 E350 Coupe and would like a similar upgrade. Perhaps a 360mm rotor upgrade and 4 piston caliper upgrade. Any recommendations..?
Same as in his video.
Is it possible to use front calipers on the rear or are there too many complications. Surely there’s got to be some other options..
not possible. Rotor thickness is different between front and rear. Even if you would managed to slap caliper on rear axle there would not be any matching rotor to install. Other difference is rear has mounting threads integrated in rear axle and front caliper has threads within the caliper not steering knuckle. If that makes sense.
I believe he used VHT Burnt Copper color
Do you know if this setup will fit up a C350 W204 2012 ? Great color choice by the way !👌🏻
I don't think so because the offset on the rotors will be different. I was tempted to try on my c300 but didn't get a chance...but it's possible.
On a w204 you will need 2012+ e550 coupe or sedan calipers and rotors. The cls the offset is a littler different for some odd reason.
What would fit facelift x204?
Calipers are same. U just need e550 rotors
I have a 2014 Mercedes E350 Coupe and the front brakes are pretty bad. Was looking to upgrade stock calipers and rotors. What is best upgrade option? Stock ones warp easily. Was looking for some easy upgrade for larger rotors,pads and better calipers
Any input..?
@@markcrystal8025 I have brembo set for sale for this exact car. 360x36mm and 4 piston AMG rotor. Fits RWD C207.
I have a set of 2012 CLS550 360mm brake calipers and rotors if anyone is interested. I upgraded to the AMG set up.
How much ?
Where did you get the brackets for the AMG swap?
@@TheT1r1what year is your 550? The 2012-2014 already comes with larger brakes from factory so it won’t be huge difference, not worth the money at least. Our brakes already have giant 360mm rotors, same rotor size on the AMG
You upgraded the rear from the small calipers to the larger 360mm for the rear ? And since the front is already the 360 do you have to change the front aswell ?
if we install those calipers on w211. will the 18 inch rims still fit? or i need to put 19 inches?
18
I've a 2023 c257 cls300d. Can I upgrade it to cls53 with rotors, pads and calipers. Will it fit?
I would believe so.
What VHT paint did you use to paint these?
It's VHT Engine Metallic: Burnt Copper
I have a c300 with the an AMG appearance package, wondering if it’s well worth upgrading to AMG calipers?.
If you are not pushing them to the limits all the time then it is not worth it. These will be more expensive to maintain and you'll need at least 19inch wheels or spacers with 18 to clear them. Additionally, if you get a flat, you won't be able to use a spare. So I'd say it's not worth it for most people.
@@ProjectAutoI believe the spares are designed to always be on the back axles. It’s even stated in manuals that you have to put normal wheel from rear to the front and then put the spare on the back. Also, the spares are only to get you couple miles to the tire shop and are not designed to fully replace your normal wheel.
If it’s w205, I don’t think that it has bolt-on solution to upgrade brakes. However, the w204 does have bolt-on upgrade, but I’ve driven c300 and can tell it’s not worth upgrading since it does have fairly good brakes for its size and power.
What about the C207 - e coupe 400 2015 production year. Are there the same brake configuration as in the cls or the w212 ? Could I do the exact same upgrade how you did? I have exact the same problem with fading and I changed the brake twice in the last couple of years. Thank you!
Thank you for a great video. Can you send me a link for the paint you used ?
Thanks! I bought it at a local auto parts store.
Thanks. Do you recommend using a primer or a high-gloss finish with this paint?
@@tadwan1 I could see primer allowing it to stick better. As you saw, I didn't really use either, and it was fairly glossy. You can clear coat but sometimes it yellows over time. Also the name of the paint was VHT Burnt Copper
Thank you so much, this is very helpful feedback
I’m in 2016 w212 e350. What calipers should I buy for rotors? Do all calipers down the whole E line fit each other?
You can get ones off an e550 or cls550 but make sure if you have 4matic or rwd you get the same kind
@@ProjectAuto you can get 4matic calipers for rwd too. Just not the rwd calipers for 4matic car.
@@Mermasorainteresting learned something new
Hello, I have CLS 2012 350 petrol engine RWD. Can I use brake calipers out of 4matic to fit on my RWD car? Thanks in advance!
yes but you may need to change the brake line at the end as it might need to be longer. if it needs to be shorter however, and you have a long brake line, it will work fine
@@ProjectAuto Thank you! I actualy managed to find calipers from RWD, got lucky so I think everything should fit well.
Do you know the part number for these calipers?
I have the part number for both front but i need to know whether you a rwd or all wheel ?
Does anyone know if there would be enough clearance with 19” wheels?
Yes depending on offset
Would there be enough clearance with 19” wheels?
U can run 18s. You need a mid 30 offset
