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

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 ?
