MB sized brakes by engine power rating. 300E brakes were meant for the 177hp M103 engine. The 1993-1995 300E and E320 had a ~220hp M104 engine and they added larger brakes. MB was never known for having oversized brakes in the first place, if anything they are marginal to begin with, and going SMALLER is a really bad idea.

You're going to be lucky to get 250 miles out of Uro ball joints, and when they fail, you better hope nobody is injured or killed.

I wouldn't. I don't drive cars with safety issues. Far too much risk and liability. Apparently other people have no qualms with this. I hope they stay far away from my vehicles.
