Question SoCal Brake-Fest, Who is hosting?

Since quite a few of us SoCal members have ordered the C32 brake upgrade, I thought we might have a Brake-Fest so we can all get together to do the installs. Those with the know-how can help those that don't. We could also do the BBQ thing after the installs.

So who would like to host? (You must have plenty of space & a good BBQ grill.)

Who would like to attend?

I'm surprised at the lack of interest



Since I'm the only one attending, I guess I'll be the host

I have installed lots of brakes, but there is something nice about having a quality company like Evosport install the brakes. They can check the runout of the rotors, I am sure they have the power brake bleeders, and their installation fee was just too reasonable.

Many of my cars I changed the rotors and pads so many times I could and probably did change them in my sleep. I have learned that Mercedes has very high standards and the first time I will let Evosport to the change. I want that hard pedal feel, power bleeding usually gets it right the first time.
