I was not aware of the possibilities of this project. Thanks for sharing.
you're welcome, happy to share some knowledge.
Love your widebody kit..pure filth..and your tips on brake upgrades... priceless. For everything else.... MasterCard..😂
lmao, thanks man!
Wow, this was very helpful! Thank you 👍
Dang this was actually like really informative
Awesome work and DIY!
Thank you brotha!
Thanks! Awesome info! BTW, your car is SIC!!! 🤙🏼
Appreciate that!
Lets go w204 gang!!
Awesome transformation!!!
How long does this take from start to finish?
Will this work for a Prefacelift ?? Thanks
Yes it will
Hi, awesome BBK option! I am surprised not more people have done this.
This 100% bolt on? No adaptor plate required?
Trust me, I was surprised as well. I spent a lot of time trying to find someone who did this but couldn't find anyone posting any info. Then once I did it and posted the tutorial, I started seeing people commenting that they've done it. Like bruh, people were keeping this a secret apparently. And yes, 100% bolt-on, no adapter needed whatsoever.
Can you do a video on how to do a facelift on 2009 c300?
Good idea, I will try to find some time to do that. I did write a DIY article on it though on my website: www.flawlessfitment.com/2021/06/pre-facelift-2008-2011-mercedes-w204.html
Do the rubber brake lines work? Or upgrading to steel brake lines necessary?
of course the rubber lines work, upgrading to stainless steel was just my recommendation.
Can i use these calipers with the stock 17" rims?
I highly doubt it, you'll have to run some spacers for sure.
Any upgrades for rear calipers? By the way these looks good.
Yes, once I get to it, I will post a video for that upgrade as well. But in short, you can use W204 C63 AMG calipers for the rear. They bolt right up, no adapter needed.
@@romeo291 thank you a lot and looking forward for the video.
@@romeo291 Another question. Are the C63 rear bigger than the CLS550 front? From pictures they looks either the same or bigger.
@@hassan_ksu no, they are smaller, the fronts have 360mm rotors, rear uses 330mm.
Hello it will work with the 344mm disk ?
I am not sure what you're trying to do, but it's important to use the correct disk with the right size and offset so that it fits properly. I would recommend sticking to the disks made for the calipers.
Did you change anything from the back brakes??
At the time of making this, I just upgraded the rotors to slotted/cross drilled rotors, but I have C63 W204 AMG calipers that I will install in the back. They are a direct fit as well, so no additional brackets needed.
I don’t found you on ig
Question, it's it possible to see the brake lines on the back? Or get the part numbers? Getting confused on ebay because some sellers don't list if the caliper came off a 4matic or a rwd. Is there a visible way to tell the difference?
I wish I could show you an image, but the brake line on the RWD models is centered and comes into the caliper in the same direction as sliding the brake pads in and out. On the 4matic model, the brake line is more off-centered and comes at an angle but almost perpendicular to the caliper. If you search "4matic CLS550 calipers" on ebay, you should see some calipers that are bulgier on the back, if it's bulky in the back, it's for a 4matic. Hope that helps.
Awesome thanks. So the ones you have on is for the 4matic? @@romeo291
@@romeo291so the ones on your car currently shown in the video are the rwd or the 4matic ones?
They’re RWD
@@romeo291 perfect because I have those in my cart and were about to purchase and I'm 4matic lol. So the ones without the raised back are for the 4matic
Hi any adapter just plug and play
No adapter needed, this was the whole purpose for this conversion, plug & play.
Will these fit a 2009 c300?
yeah, my car is a 2009 C300, so definitely yes lol.
@@romeo291 awesome great video definitely something I want to do to mine
Do the video on the kit!😂
Definitely will make one for the widebody kit, been assembling all my old videos so I can start stitching it together for a DIY. I am just slow with editing lol.
Love your widebody kit and excellent tips for the brakes...priceless...for everything else...Mastercard..😂
will this work with the stock 18" amg wheels? thanks
It will clear it height wise, but width-wise, you may need a small spacer to clear it.
@romeo291 Thanks for the reply. shouldn't be a problem then. I was figuring I would have to space out the wheel. I work at a m.b. dealer so If you need anything let me know
@@luisrosario4418 no worries, good luck, just make sure you get the right calipers for either the RWD or AWD 4matic because they're slightly different. And appreciate the offer to help!
'Promo sm' 😠
Why didn't you retrofit the C63 calipers and rotors?
I did this by myself and it's a pretty easy thing.
There were several factors. The first is costs, the C63 calipers go for around $1000-$1,500 for a set, whereas these go for around $400-500. After you get the C63 Calipers, you will need an adapter, which costs around $500, or you can CNC your own (which I don't have the ability to do). Another major factor was that the C63 Calipers were also much bigger, which would've made clearance with my wheels impossible. I wouldn't have been able to fit it at all. I already have to run 20mm spacers to barely clear these brakes, and that was the smallest spacers I could fit and still get clearance. Lastly, I just wanted the BBK look, and this achieved that at a fraction of the costs of the C63, I didn't need the extra 2 pistons as the stopping power for this setup was already significantly better than stock.
@@romeo291 Ok, I get your arguments and I didn't consider the inner diameter of your rims. Here in Germany a used set of C63 Calipers is about 800,- plus new brake pads, new OEM rotors about 400,-
Right, I used Aluminum Adapters for the front Calipers, they are about 150,- And I can recommend Steel Flex brake lines (If you haven't done this already)
@@Feindflieger1 yeah, honestly, I was actually going to do C63 calipers until I realized it wouldn't work with my wheels. It was a gamble for me to try these because I couldn't find anybody that did them already, so I did some research, realized it would fit and made this video to help other people have another option to upgrade their brakes. I definitely also did the stainless steel brake lines as you can see in the video. I definitely recommend doing that, they feel great.
Hi will this work c200k?
@@hairyplotter1121 yep
