    Mercedes Brembo Brake calipers.....

    on a A4/B5. I just ran into a guy who mounted Benz Brembo calipers from 03-06 MERCEDES W215 W220 on his 1.8T. I didn't think it was possible but he had made a bracket carrier adapter and was using an A8/S8 rotor. It looked nice & he said it was cheaper than doing a BBK with a Porsche Brembo. He claims it works like magic and brakes beautifully. I'm going to talk to him some more soon to see how he did it.

    Sound a great idea. Merc calipers go with 330mm rotors, right? He is using 323 A8 rotors, right? What brake pads he uses - Merc?

      112mm spacing most are, so will bolt on to an S2 and non UR C4's. There are loads of calipers with that spacing, it's almost been standardised between manufacturers into only a few spacings. Some are front some are rear mounted on the mercs, so watch out for piston sizes, bleed nipples and fluid inlets, but there are loads available in all sizes.

            So they will not bolt on an UrS6 and need adaptors?

                These are the calipers he's using...2002 Mercedes S500/W220
                He uses an adapter made from flat iron with the appropriate holes drilled into them

                  2 styles of adapters for the Merceds calipers...

                  Both do not look that strong but they appear to be made from plate steel of adequate thickness. Opinions?

                          Gordon...

                          By chance would you have a pix of the adapter bracket you are using with those calipers. I'm intrigued.

                            These are AMG callipers, are they bigger that standard W220 or the same? What disc are you running there?

                              Hey guys need to pick your brain here...

                              Going to have my own mounting brackets made for the Benz calipers but need some wisdom here. Using Plate iron for the mounting adapters. Is 1/4" too thick?
                              Or can I go thinner? The pix I posted of adapters look to be made from polished plate steel and about 1/4".
