upgrading the brakes
 

Hi,

My 83 stops pretty well, but Id like a bit more stopping power than the oem stuff is supplying. Its probably because the oem brakes are unvented.
Has anyoen upgraded their solid discs on their w123 car? Was there a 'performance' w123 gasser that might have better brakes that would be more direct of a bolt on?

Any info would be great.

Thanks,

JMH

Hi JMH.

I just bought front and rear slotted
rotors from this site:

www.************************ has stainless
steel brake lines.
I also ordered those.

Haven't installed them yet but plan to do so
on saturday.

The late model W126 560SEL brakes would bolt on. However, you would have to use 15" wheels I think. You could get the calipers, discs, and maybe even the brake booster ?
