Do you think this will be a simple swap procedure? Will the mounts for the rear brakes be different? Are the mounts included with the rear calipers?

Would Mercedes Benz be the best place to try (at least on initial inquiry)? I may also get quotes from an indy nearby that does MB, BMW, Porsches and Audi's.

Would aftermarket brake kits be a more cost effective alternative (e.g. Brabus)?
It should be a very simple procedure Eddy, as i said in the PM Marc is going to get some photos for me so i can be sure before saying 100% but if the mounts are the same its plug and play (almost).

I'd go to MB first then check out the Indy don't bother with the tuners if you actually take a look at the systems you will see they are all based on the same Brembo unit as the AMG's unless you go for very expensive carbon.
