The all-wheel-drive is phenomenal, and the car drives, handles, and accelerates like a small sports car while being a full-size premium sedan. The car is great from the factory, but being that it is so big and heavy, yet so powerful and offers so much performance, that the factory brakes can become taxed easily. This is the only aspect of the vehicle that leaves something to be desired.

The stock brakes are the Achilles heel, of an otherwise surprisingly superb vehicle. By upgrading the factory CLS brakes to the custom Racing Brakes package we are putting together, I hope to transform the vehicle to have perfect attributes.

The increased braking performance will provide confidence under both normal and spirited driving, and positively affect all aspects of driving dynamics. The CLS will have its one and only problem solved! Upgrading the brakes of the CLS won't only make it a better and more rewarding car to drive, but will also make it a far more safe vehicle to drive. It's a win-win upgrade! I am sure we have all felt the weakness of the stock setup during spirited driving, and surprise stops.

The car is simply too heavy and accelerates too quickly for the stock brakes. An upgraded big brake kit will certainly make the car much safer, which is of huge importance to me. Confidence under braking is the only thing missing; I can't wait for this upgrade! Oh, and this big brake kit is noticeably lighter than the stock setup, which will reduce unsrung mass. So, this brake kit will make the car quicker and handle better too....I guess that's a win-win-win lol

(33.5 lbs + 14.67 lbs) x 2 = 96.4 lbs

(28 lbs + 14.3 lbs) x2 = 56.3 lbs
