W126 brake upgrade--single or dual piston calipers?
 
Hi All,
I am uprgrading my front brakes to the larger Gen ll ones.
Single and dual piston calipers are available. Which ones should I get?
Also, looking to get reman calipers as new ones are now 300 each.
Any suggestion on reman brands of calipers?

Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I ran across this thread on Benzworld about some AMG 4 piston calipers for a W126 and I just skimmed the post.
Turns out to be a false alarm. They are actually for a BMW.
Also, thought I had also read somewhere else that 560 cars had dual (4 piston) calipers.

Anyways, got any suggestions for remanufactured calipers?

Thanks,
Jeff

107 chassis (560SL) '86 & later did have 4-piston calipers. They do not interchange with 126.
