Yes, the 16V has beefier brakes than the other 190's. I found the 16V brakes not bad on the track, with fade coming only after some real abuse. The thing that killed me was eating up a set of pads AND disks EACH day. $$...
Remember folks, the 500E uses R129 bits, including the geometery. The suspension of the 500E has little in common with the other W124 cars. Those bits don't just bolt on.
