To make sure all is well, I'll put in a new or rebuilt master cylinder and rebuild all four wheel cylinders before my LS6 motor is in there. I have the steel wrapped teflon brake lines to install as well. The rears will likely keep the stock non-slotted rotors (for now) but I have the semi-metallic pads for them. I have two liters of Castrol SRF brake fluid as well ($80/L!!).

Once all that's done, then I'll be able to abuse the brakes to see if anything else is needed. It would *look* better with bigger brakes, but MB designed the stock setup for a 4,000 pound car capable of 150mph.
