Dwight did send me a private message regarding the brakes. Unfortunately I never pushed through with the upgrade. I found the current brakes to be more than adequate for the vehicle (you find that out when you get in a situation where you need to stop NOW!) I found the stock brakes on my car to be quite progressive...in the sense that the harder you step on it, the stronger it gets, but is a sort of geometric instead of linear manner.
In my reply to him (via email) I offered that the most cost effective upgrade for him, in my opinion, would be to replace his aluminum calipers with the steel ones (cheaper than the 600 SL calipers), assuming they would work without having to change anything else, and work on brake cooling via ducts and hoses instead.
I'm in the process of putting in some brake ducts and hoses for good measure myself.
Does this make sense to you guys?
