WoW Kev! This is now my new wallpaper!
I'm a big fan of white W209s and I knew your car was one of the best examples in the community; but your car looks FANTASTIC in this pic!
The wheels, the black vinyl accents, the grill......and the fact that the car is charging along the race track makes this picture very special to me. I myself can appreciate somebody taking the road less traveled. Anybody (with $$$) can take a factory track ready car (like a Porsche, Corvette, Ferrari, GTR) and race it; but to take a "sporty" car like a W209 (a non-AMG to boot; even more special), prep it, take it to a road course and test its limits; makes you a cut above the rest in my book (Wes and his crazy CLK32K is in this very short list too).
Ever thought about changing the lighting to projector fogs w/ HID conversion, LED city lights, and matching 8K-10K HIDs (low beam/fogs)?
OP, really sorry for the thread jack.....

leogsx97, my appologies for the threadjack, I have started a seperate thread regarding my picture so we can stay on topic in regards to your brake swap.
Hope it all goes well and we look forward to hearing more from you once they are all broken in.

Go to tire rack and put in your car information to get the correct pads.
Go to r1 website to get the correct rotors.
