STOP! brake time
Hi guys, my baby needs some new brake pads and discs and i was hoping to modify it a little bit. I was thinking on installing drilled brake discs but without modifying the calipers, do you know if the discs from the new C-class fit? or any other model? If they do, do i need other kind of brake pads or just the regulars??? Hope i can get a little bit of help with this, by the way, the car is an 300 E coupe sportline from 94. I would only modify the front discs 'cause you know the rear are solids and i'll just leave them like that. Take care guys, and i would really be thankfull for any usefull tips.

Go with some new brake hoses, new rotors made by belo and some ceramic pads and you'll be more than happy with the breaks. To be able to brake faster, you need a stiffer suspension and wider tires. Installing bigger calipers will not help if you are still running stock tires and suspension.

PToro thanks for the tips but i live un south america where some "accesories" are not so easy to find thats why i just wanted to change the discs. My ride already gots 17" x 8.5 amg wheels and besides the sportline suspension i've also installed some Koni shocks so its kinda stiff. I'll try to get as much as i can but down here is not that easy, thanks anyway mate.
