There isn`t anything on the rear to up grade to. all MB bodies use the same rear brakes more or less. except for the wagons, those are pricy.

you could up grade the rotors to the drilled ones with the lines cut into the face I guess.

I would just replace the rears with the stock calipers, rotors, and I guess you could use the ceramic pads for less brake dust. as long as you are replacing parts, would be a good idea to replace the brake hoses as well.

the front brakes can be up graded to the W126. the first generation 81 - 85, the 14 inch wheels can be used. second generation W126 86 - 91, then you need to go to a larger wheel, 15 inch or larger.

If you have the hub caps, I don`t know if the steel wheels or the light alloy wheels will clear the W126 calipers.

We are advised to NOT judge ALL Muslims by the actions of a few lunatics, but we are encouraged to judge ALL gun owners by the actions of a few lunatics. Funny how that works
