Hello

I have a E220 W211 2004
I have had a problem with the brakes since i bought the car the anti rattle clips last less time than the pads, after the pads are about half way down they start clicking or rattling or just none stop squeeling so i have to change the pads because you cant just get the clips on their own no more.
so i have decided to see about getting E320 calipers etc

I was wondering if this is a straight forward job of just changing calipers discs and and pads or is there more to it??

thanks guys

well i replaced the pads again today after 2 months.
i think i may have cracked it, the anti rattle things may be at fault,
When fitting the anti rattle clips are they ment to be adjusted by folding the clips over so they dont move, i have just been putting them in and leaving them
today i tryed moving the ends over so they hopefully will stay where they are, i will keep you up 2 date but if anyone can shed some light on this it would put my mind at rest.
the brakes on my car seem really good as it is so im happy not to change them for e320 if this works.

thanks for your comments guys
