a fantastic brake upgrade is the 4 piston calipers and rotors from the 94 or newer E series. you need to change the lower control arms to fit them in, but they fit behind the stock rims.

Seriously , do you use the lca of the 94 E too? I have a1996 e320 parts car. When I drive my 87 wagon I notice the brakes are a little stiff compared to the w210.

Also Do the ball joints last longer in these? It seems w124 s like to eat ball joints. I replaced mine on my wagon and within 6 months one of the boots was cracked already.

Do you need to change the lca if you use the 16 rims off the w210 e?
