Good pics

Those W211 wheels fit your car really well, those should have been the standard wheels.

Those calipers are ridiculously clean. Did you spray them with brake cleaner and wipe them down? For "Want '71 280sel," I wouldn't recommend machining rotors. I always purchase new ones.

210 front brakes and rotors

Used the pictures to change out the brakes, and also replaced the rotors, which was easy with the right tools. You can use 3/4 inch socket in place of the 19mm for the rotor carrier bolts, if you don't have the metric. Someone said you have to beat the snot out of the old rotors with a hammer to get them off. True, true. But worth the effort. It would be a shame to pay the local dealer several hundred dollars for this work. Total cost to me was $154 from Fastlane for the parts. Just make sure you use the Blue locktite for all the bolts. My old rotors had one too many sets of pads on it and was deeply grooved. Will do the rear ones next. Thanks for all the pics
