I Installed Massive AMG Brakes On My Non-AMG Mercedes & It Was So Easy! Factory Big Brake Swap!

- I installed massive E55 AMG Brembo brakes on my 2005 E320 CDI and so can you. These brakes fit any 211 E Class and possibly many more Mercedes models. This was a super easy swap and the installation went perfectly.

Should I remove all the badges or leave the E320 CDI out back?
Remove 😁 tht stealth look
Get the turbodiesel badge to replace the cdi badge
leave the badge
why not get yourself a 200 CDI or 220 CDI badge from Europe (don't think they ever sold these 4 cyl cars in the US) the original 200 CDI hat 116 hp. Much more fun to have a car faster than people expect than one slower than people expect.
I think debadging would look best
Leave the Badge so people know what they got dusted by.
Holy frickin cow. Unreal. Love this channel so much!
I agree with you on the Akebono brake pads. I put them on my ML55 about 10 years ago, and they are still good to go!
Akebono brake pads?
He needs Brembo Racing or Ferodo DS31.2 brake pads, all the rest is junk.
Zimmerman rotors + Akebono pads...Nice! The only ones I use.
These BIG brakes just make me happy and feeling really satisfied seeing them in what now appears to be small wheel wells!
Can you show us how to do a rear camber adjustment after replacing rear suspension components?
Another great video Alex. The CDI is becoming a mega-Benz. Imagine MB copying your transformed car and coming out in 2020 with an E55 CDI 4Matic AMG diesel powered, fuel efficient, fast and practical for the Northern US and Canadian winters.
In Europe we got the C30 CDI AMG (W203) with a 3.0 5 cilinder and 230hp. It began its life has a C270 CDI 2.7 enlarged to a 3.0
Scott Lynch How about what diesel is basically intended for -- so an AMG that is slow and super economical?
Look forward to this all week. Great way to start my Saturday.
I do believe Lemforder are the factory ones.
They are! Lol
True, Lemforder is an OEM supplier for Mercedes-Benz. They provide Mercedes-Benz with many of the suspension parts (bushings, ball joints). Very high quality.
I used the Moog ball joints, they are greasable. :)
I use a 1/2 air impact with my ball joint press kit. I like to live on the edge.
You crazy
Flanged hex bolt.
In the South I've heard them called ' Lock Bolts ' ? Srew Me ! lol ! That was a joke screw the bolt ,not me.
You’re right about aesthetics, the stock front calipers are extremely good and more than capable of superior stopping power, the E46 M3 uses single piston front calipers with huge drilled discs and that has excellent stopping power whereas a E60 530d use a 4 piston caliper as standard just like the W211 does...
i take the remover of the ball joints has not purchased a splitter . lol splayed thread . good vids bro.
Nice 👍🏼
I just picked up an 05 320 cdi. The ds708 is first on the list but now you got the wheels turning.
SAFETY GLASSES ALEX!!
ok then later I see you wearing them👍🏻
If you swap for amg brakes, and sbc fails.... Will Mercedes still fix it under warranty???
Hey Alex,
Love your content, please keep them coming.
The answer to the question, "What kind of bolts are these with the built-in washers?".
They're called "Flange Bolts".
This is crazy. E class brakes are really good if they are in good condition. This will add weight and of course it may cost more than the old car itself
Those callipers are huge!
Dude, please, just buy that thing you put on your head that you can mount your camera on your head (like go pro). You record everything and still have both arms available to do all the work ! Think about it:D
Flanged bolt. Quite popular in automotive application to save cost for manufacturers.
Here are some of the cost saving reasons in an automotive factory:
1. one less drawing to be made.
2. one less part number to be generated in the BOM (bill of material).
3. one less part number to be purchased.
4. one less part to be received and inspected.
5. one less potential rejection for non-conformance.
6. one less part to keep track for logistics.
7. one less part to be moved from warehouse to the staging area.
8. one less part to be picked up by robot or human during assembly. Increasing TAKT time.
9. one less part to potentially create jam in the robot.
10. one less part to forget by human assembler, potentially create warranty issue.
Multiple this by thousands of washers per car, and tens of millions of cars. Even if there are washers required such as spring lock washers, captive lock washers are used to avoid some of the pitfalls and save time.
Good job all brake discs & brake shoes
👍😜
im pretty sure more people from Europe are watching this then people from america
50-60 % of European cars are diesels
@@AG-jh1ky That is until dieselgate happened. Diesel sales have been in decline since. Not helped by government scaremongering either, or the problems that newer diesels with DPFs have.
@@SuperFIFTHGEAR Would you please expand on the DPF issue? My 2011 E350BT has gone dead with totally plugged exhaust, dealer wants $8500 to fix. This is an inherent problem, not anything I did wrong so looking for a recourse with Mercedes Germany. USA MB loves the income it brings dealers.
Jarrus Killa yes, it is ;)
Nah I'm from America and I would LOVE this car! I'm trying to find a clean one for a daily right now!
I have done the same thing on my old 320 cdi.but to get them to work u need star..
Nice job! You made the brake conversion look easy.
Performance diesel
Can’t wait to see the Diesel Mercedes on the track!
Please do a tech video with the sbc brake bleeding
I see that you are a Alabama Football 🏈 Fan. So glad to know you've heard of the state. lol ! Peace from Alabama ,Alex and thanks for all the informative vids. You do one Hell of great job explaining all your automotive projects. We all appreciate all the work that you put into all you share with us. So ,Thanks So Much.
Awesome. Rear discs ( rotors) are wrong way round
Not necessarily. If the fins or cooling veins insode the rotor are slanted they need to face the rear if the veins are straight it doesnt make any difference. Drill pattern doesnt really matter ive seen rotors drilled with a diferent pattern than the direction of the cooling veins.
Roll Tide Alex - love the shirt. Awesome gift from your C55 purchaser!
Leave the badging alone!
Flange bolt I believe...hey Max.
As usual, very good video. Informative, nicely produced and put together. Well done!
And I am already looking forward to seeing the next episode.
Did an SBC yesterday, fun job.
Do not remove the badges!! I'm a purist, lol. Great video, I have got to get a lift!
Those are called "Flange Bolts" in my neck of the woods.
@LegitStreetCars May be a shot in the dark, but I currently own the exact E320 CDI which you were modifying in this video, and I'm looking to do maintenance on it myself and would like to ask you a few questions about the specific parts you put on the car if you have the time. I'm going to be replacing the brakes soon for the first time, and need to make sure I get the correct aftermarket parts! Thanks!
Frame bolt is acceptable too but flange bolt is correct.
Tilt your camera a little downwards for all the items in one frame
The industry term for that fastener is Hex Head Cap Screw (HHCS)
I used E55 front calipers on the front of my v12 swapped buick regal. Huge difference in braking power.
That's so cool! Love your car. Hey could you email me? Had a question about your car.

4matic... Alex you should do a 4matic conversion. That would be sick plus make driving in the winter so much better. Just sayin😉
Indeed!
its impossible to do with the OM648. you would need a custom oil pan, because the differential and axles on the front would need to go THROUGH the pan
@@MBDieselFreak sounds like a challenge.....
Hi Alex, awesome video. For the washer, I think the Benz service manual refers to it as a "self-locking" washer.
And you can just lock the car with key pad n the sbc system disable. Dont unlock doors till your finish working
Definitely a Great mod with the brakes and you spend so much money swapping everything over but way the old brake hoses? Around $100 bux would have gotten you brand new SS lines.
MASSIVE Breaks !
I am curious about putting E55 brakes on a 4matic. I have a 04 E500 4matic that I swapped a E55 engine into and I was also planning to swap the brakes over from the donor car as well. If you don't come across the answer I will try and bolt them up over the coming weeks and make a follow up video for you if you don't mind.
still waiting.....
did it work????
@@Breal1969 I never tried it. I was enjoying the car too much to mess around with it.
Did you replace the brakes on the AMG E55? What did you do specifically with the 4matic car?
Great video, keep the cdi badge, maybe add the 555tag cdi 555
I say leave the CDI badging for sure. This does look like a factory upgrade, and it should have been. It sure would look good if you painted those rotor hubs satin black. They're going to be rusty and crappy looking in no time. Thanks for another great video!
Why not use floating discs at the front since you are changing brakes anyways.
flange head bolt my man
I was hoping the junkyards around us would have Amg’s in but nope. Lol I tried victory auto wreckers and lqk.
Yeah who doesn't love Lemforder.... They are OEM suppliers for MB for last 1000000 years....
I wonder how much does it cost for the swap, will it fit the e coupe?
Wonder if there is something similar for the W212 Chassis....
You think these E55 Calipers could be fitted to a W124 E420? Custom Bracket?
FCP only have 12 months warranty now day.
super nice video.... but dude... I'am about 85 kilo and to get the carrier bolts loose on an e-class i 'am swinging out of a breaker bar... can't be that they just pop loose for ye... can it? Em Flange Bolt ( but you knew that already).. we cut the shoulders of the ball joint off (carefully) with a cutting disk so you have more meat to push against. You can use a normal hydraulic press then. A must for sprinters.
AMG for the win!
i found a new project idea for you after cdi can you get e55 amg performance from e500 ?
I love your Numberplate 😍😍❤️
My fav UA-camr
That bolt with the built in washer is called a flange bolt
16:06: flanged bolt
Any issues with different master cylinder or brakes for an AMG model?
That's my concern also??? I flicked through the clip and didn't hear anything about that... I was assuming youd need a larger volume master cylinder due to more volume in the calipers???
@@peterlattimore6013 Nah, Its more volume but brake fluid doesn't compress. it will stop just fine like every other vehicle don't quite know what you're confused about?
Very nice job, especially your comments. And good pronunciation, that I from Ukraine can understand you.
Hey Alex, been watching your channel for a while now and really enjoying your content! Keep it up. Slightly off topic, I see you owned a c55, I'm currently looking at a 2003 C32 amg, any advise on these? Reliable?
Hi Alex, great job on the videos, excellent content. how about some more content on the SBC system theses cars have? I guess bleeding them is not so simple and a scanner is required. Congrats on the C63 you got a great deal.
Flange bolt I think too. Alex, excellent video dude. Brakes are really quite simple and I am always horrified when I hear people spending close to a $1000K for a "complete brake job". WTF?! I've always heated the bore of the ball joint (like for 30-45sec's) before install. Is this not advised? I didn't see you used any heat in the vid. I've been going back and forth about de-badging on my CDI too. My thought is it is already a sleeper being a Mercedes sedan! I have had guys come up who see the CDI badge and then comment on the rarity of the model. You can always reinstall them if and when you sell it? (right!)
LSC, have another look at 10:13 to 10:14 and you will see THE BOOT IS RIPPED!
Alex,
What about the master cylinder or brake booster? Do you need to have a bigger one? I think the CDI designed to work with the smaller brakes and AMG is like twice bigger...
Shouldn't you change main break cylinder or SBC system.
Why are the rotors identical left to right? Shouldn’t they be position specific based on rotation? My R172 is like this and it makes no sense to me.
One question. Do you know a Volvo-mechanic? It would be interesting to see a similar video like you did with the BMW mechanic
Those bolts are called FLANGE bolts. A SHOULDER bolt has an unthreaded portion under the head that something like a bushing would ride on.
Good call.
Why the Mercedes garage sayd me we can't change your normal brakes for amg brakes in my c180 sw I just was soo dispointed😔😪, I just love my Mercedes and I want to upgrade to better quality
I have a E320 and I dream to tune the Mercedes as you.
You should get a tune by ”Tuikku”. He’s a famous bmw/mercedes diesel tuner. He’s done it all. Google him on bmw or mercedes forums.
12:31 the disc is mounter wrong u should use the other one...
I'm fairly sure Lemforder make oem parts for Mercedes
Hi LSC I have been wanting to put these brakes on my 2004 Acura NSX. I don’t know what all I need to do to make it work but I’ve always loved these brakes on my E55 and think they would look incredible on my NSX. I can probably get brackets made but heard I need to do calculations on if there will be enough fluid for the bigger calipers etc. Figured I would ask and see if you could give any insight. Thanks and love the videos!
Can you add the E55 AMG brakes to an E500 4 Matic???
Great work!
You shouldve airbrush bite on drill clean gray coat off rotors with brake clean that thing mess up brake pads
Wirebrush
I was reading, these brakes are not plug and play with the facelift E550, do you know somethong about that?
Did anyone ever figure out if the 4matic E500's required a bracket? I have a 2004 E500 Wagon and there's some local calipers that i'd like to put on.
Any luck or no?
Your new rotors rotate the same way, so you got 2 lefts or 2 rights, same for the rears.
I may be mistaken, but, aren't the vanes supposed to go the other way on those rotors?
Lemforder is an OEM manufacturer. 100% for Volkswagen group cars, not sure about Merc.
can i fit amg brakes on my W210 E320 CDI ???
That Alabama shirt!!!!!! Fan??
I've never watched a college football game in my life. It was a gift
I’m curious how the aftermarket rotors will do
What are you smearing on the hub just prior to installing the rotor? Anti-sieze? Whatever it is please list type, brand etc. Thanks. Great video as always.
Thanks! Yes anti-sieze
Great job thank you. I want to install it on a Series 4 matic E500. What should I replace it with?
Alex please
Provide me with the part number of the brake calipers.( Left and right). E55. Thank for the videos. Thank you
How did you know which AMG brakes would match your nonAMG model? I have a 2021 C300 base Benz and I wanted to do the same upgrade so I was looking at the C43/GLC43 calipers, but I wanted to be sure that they would fit.
😁🙏🏽
how much do you spend on vanity plates for all your cars?
What size wheels do you need with new brakes?
