How would I go about getting 500e brakes and rotors and calipers and stuffy? I want baby to stop better.. Apparantly, making her go better is going to be hard

Mercedes benz 1991 300ce(RIP), now an 89 300ce
arent evo brakes meant for light cars, such as the evos? it seems like a benz would be way to heavy for em....but then again, there probably big *** brakes meant for speed. seems like an interesting mod tho

I remember something about that, too. I think all you need is an adaptor to get the caliper to attach to the hub.

Anyone else know about this?

I believe you're correct - I'll ask my friends later about the swap. It's pretty straight foward and can obviously be done but it's just pricey...

They're not gay, they're just misunderstood - like the ambiguously gay duo.

Those smilies crack me up though.

I'm at work as well. I'm a graphics designer for a company that does trade shows, exhibits, seminars etc etc. Funny thing is ... I'm hardly ever working.

I'm working right now too. I'm a chiropractor so I get to post between patients.

I'm too paranoid now to use a ghey smiley to indicate my at-work status.

OK, you got me. That was a good one, now cut it out.
Let's make fun of someone else for a while.

Hopefully within the next couple of months I should be able to really get rolling on mods. I just opened a second office and it sucked up like $50k to get it rolling. But this is even for this thread.

What are you going to do next on your car?
