Which better...?

What do you guys thinks; what's the best brake setup between:-

"W124" or "W202's" or "W210's" or "R129"..?

Zayed, I have a feeling that the first photo shows your Queen. She certainly looks great. The side vents do they really work (diesel models I think), but are probably necessary in your part of the world.

Regarding the brakes, I'll settle for any one

Erh, just realized the first photo is NOT a w202. Must be the heat melting my neurones...

it's one of [18] genuine "Carlsson" E500's,

original E500 is (322 hp) & (480 Nm),

they modified "cams/intake valves & springs/ported heads & TB/dual gearbox clutches/LH-ME Eprom chip/EZL ignition angle",,

with (372 hp) & (576 Nm)..

they never ever slips, unless if i pull them up hardly..

Denis, Zayed lives in an area where it never rains, so no need to worry about wet feet. I would be more concerned he slips in his shower ? 😂😂😂

Ahhhhh, good one Daniel.., & you absolutely correct,,

when i buy a shoes, i always put anti slip tape on them, not only for these floor mats, also for my job,

cause there's many places with slippery marbles there,

slipped many times there, learned my lesson well maaaaaaaan..

BTW; sorry about this photo.

I know those stick on pads to the soles of your shoes. You find them often on women shoes
