Attn: ML430, ML500, ML55 Members brake question
 

Next time you guys have your brakes off could you give me some measurements, I am trying to see if I can put one of these three brakes on a W124 car.

Being an W163 and W124 owner, I am assuming you are referring to the caliper and pad assembly...and I am assuming you like the "Mercedes-Benz" etched into the calipers on the sport or AMG models?

I changed the rears on my W163 a few months ago and even for the lowly ML320, the rear pads are a lot bigger than the front pads on the W124...

Yeah, that is why I am trying to do the swap. Just trying to keep it MB parts on my car.

I got 500SL R129 brakes on my w124, except the rear are 600SL, but Id like to put on ML brakes, so anyone with some technical info let me know.

any of you guys doing a brake job in the phoenix area let me know so I can maybe get some dimentions from your set up...to see if I can get it to work. Thanks,

Just a heads up:

Looked at an awesome 2002 ML500 with custom wheels at a paint shop I frequent the other day.

The wheels were Giovannas and the paint shop owner said they were custom machined to clear the big calipers present on the ML.

You might take that into consideration if you are looking to fit these calipers while using a W124 wheel profile.

I think If I can fit the brakes, I will buy wheels to fit around them if what I have wont work. I have three sets of wheels for my car.
