Hello fellow dieselheads!

I'm overhauling my '00 S210 320CDI in almost every aspect in the coming winter, and was wondering what would be the best brake kit on a budget.

I'm not rich so a full Brembo, D2, etc. kit is out of the question.

I was wondering if I install braided brake lines, rebuild a set of used C32 or E55 AMG calipers, install rotors and pads for the AMG calipers:
-Do the calipers bolt on to the stock avantgarde/sport S210?
-Do the rotors bolt on to the stock S210 bearing flange?
-What brand of cross-drilled rotors would you recommend on a budget?
-Are EBC Redstuffs the best budget pads for street use?
-Is there a better option to the AMG calipers at about the same pricetag?

I'd quote bmartins in his post "w210 300td discs upgrade"

Hello.
I own a W210 300TD from 1997 with 300mm rotors.
I was wondering upgrading my rotors and calipers to 330mm from a S320 cdi or 400cdi or 500(W220).
I am almost sure that the calipers fit my car, but the rotors i don´t think so...
Can you tell me which is the best part that i can install there?
330mm from a W220 or 345mm from a C32AMG(W203)?
Does 345mm fit 17"?
Thanks

345mm fits most 17" rims but the rest is unclear... to me also.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Cheers!

Just fyi:
Someone in finland swapped these into their E55 AMG with success (and on a budget)...
Zimmermann W203 C270cdi/ C32AMG(01-06) cross-drilled sport rotor (?mm/28mm) ~200€/2pcs (original AMG E55 spec is 345mm/32mm)
TRW DF4355 rear rotors (300mm/22mm) ~90€/2pcs (original AMG E55 spec is ?)
