S210 -> W203 brake upgrade or? - blackslide - 07-15-2012 Hello fellow dieselheads! I'm overhauling my '00 S210 320CDI in almost every aspect in the coming winter, and was wondering what would be the best brake kit on a budget. I'm not rich so a full Brembo, D2, etc. kit is out of the question. I was wondering if I install braided brake lines, rebuild a set of used C32 or E55 AMG calipers, install rotors and pads for the AMG calipers: -Do the calipers bolt on to the stock avantgarde/sport S210? -Do the rotors bolt on to the stock S210 bearing flange? -What brand of cross-drilled rotors would you recommend on a budget? -Are EBC Redstuffs the best budget pads for street use? -Is there a better option to the AMG calipers at about the same pricetag? I'd quote bmartins in his post "w210 300td discs upgrade" (04-03-2011, 01:33 PM)bmartins w210 300td discs upgrade 345mm fits most 17" rims but the rest is unclear... to me also. Any advice would be appreciated. Cheers! edit: fixed broken quote edit: fixed broken link edit: E55 / C32? Just fyi: Someone in finland swapped these into their E55 AMG with success (and on a budget)... Zimmermann W203 C270cdi/ C32AMG(01-06) cross-drilled sport rotor (?mm/28mm) ~200€/2pcs (original AMG E55 spec is 345mm/32mm) TRW DF4355 rear rotors (300mm/22mm) ~90€/2pcs (original AMG E55 spec is ?) RE: S210 -> W203 brake upgrade or? - blackslide - 07-15-2012 Using some non-reliable sources, I have gathered this info on the front-end: Steering knuckle (where the calipers bolt onto) is the same on pre-facelift E300 TD, all E320, facelift E320 CDI -A 210 330 00 20 LEFT -A 210 330 01 20 RIGHT W210 E55 AMG might have the same or different parts but I have no way to confirm this at the moment All W203 incl. AMG share a different steering knuckle (different from W210) -A 204 332 01 01 LEFT -A 204 332 02 01 RIGHT All W210 and W203 incl. AMG have the same front wheel hub and bearings -A 210 330 03 25 L/R (HUB) -A 210 330 00 51 L/R (BEARING) The different calipers: W210 E300 TD and 320 CDI -A 001 420 31 83 LEFT (Housing) -A 001 420 32 83 RIGHT (housing) W210 E320 caliper -A 001 420 31 83 LEFT (Housing) -A 001 420 32 83 RIGHT (Housing) -A 001 420 33 83 LEFT (Caliper -if AMG-engineering package) -A 001 420 34 83 RIGHT(Caliper -if AMG-engineering package) W210 E55 caliper -H WA 210 421 01 98 LEFT (was H WA 210 420 01 83) -H WA 210 421 02 98 RIGHT (was H WA 210 420 02 83) W203 AMG (both C32 and C55) caliper -A 002 420 19 83 LEFT (p/n looks awfully close to the old E55 one) -A 002 420 20 83 RIGHT (p/n looks awfully close to the old E55 one) -How good or bad is the E320 AMG caliper, compared to the E55 and C32/C55 AMG calipers? -Does E55 use the same or different steering knuckle? -Apparently S220 series cars use the same calipers as C32/55 AMG, calipers are just painted black? -Are there pictures of the calipers with measurements/Has someone measured the bolt distance and diameter? -The rear is still to be checked but with this much confusion and missing info on the front, I'll try and have time to re-check the info at the dealer edit: This info is specific to EURO models. Might apply to others but I can't guarantee that. edit: C32 AMG / S55 AMG same caliper but C uses silver color, S uses black?
