OK, this is a tough one. I went to my tech to schedule an appt. for brake lines, rotors and pads (upgrade to 400E rotors/calipers). He says he believes the master cylinder is the same and doesn't need changing out. The question I have is which is likely to give the best bang for the buck - the 400E brakes under the stock 15 hole 15" MB rims, or the 300E brakes under 16" MB 8 hole or 5 hole AMG monoblock style rims? The bigger brakes would obviously give me lots more stopping power, but the bigger rims would allow more cooling/less fade on the standard brakes, and more rubber on the road. I have a budget, and can't do both brakes and rims - the obvious solution to the question. Any ideas?
