Apart from the wheels and drop, this has to be the most $ I've spent on the car.

Looks awesome Mike. How's the braking now?

BTW: what did Brabus do to the engine?

:-) neil

Very cool indeed!

So, does it stop? :p
No seriously. How big a difference can you feel? -I mean, the original brakes are pretty good to begin with.

Now you just need to be able to reach speeds where you can get to use your new brakes. The engine cover is a good start..

-Black leather
-17" AMG & 15" AMG for winter

Alright, so I'll just say this:


1) You cannot get the brabus cover by itself. Unless you make it yourself, there's no way you can get it w/o buying the whole package. To set the record straight, I didn't make it myself or ghetto rigged it.

2) BRABUS B9 package is exbenzive. Somewhere in the likes of $4-5k. And that's just for CAMS! The B9 S comes with exhaust and thus is more $.

3) I'm a cheapskate.

4) Draw your own conclusions from there, it's not too hard

The brakes are awesome. That thing stops on a dime! I love it!

Michael,

I am very impressed, stoptech brakes far exceed the C32 brakes you were going to put on. I am very proud of you man, seriously.

Someday your car will be brabus E60, and believe me those cars are so fast. So you have to get ready in steps so you can be prepared.
