Hi 2carpros.

I saw your video about replacing rotors and pads on a w163 Mercedes ML.
Did that ML come with four piston calipers at the front? As a newbie I cannot tell. I believe my ML430 only comes with 2 pistons, so I would like to upgrade for better brake bite. The car still has the OEM 17" rims so I assume the four pistons would fit in

No, don't assume that. You car was engineered for a specific braking system and you can't simply put different calipers on it. You have to remain with the components it came with.
