Welcome to the forums!!!

Your cars are absolutely wicked.

Looooooove the E500.

Can you please post more pictures (the more the better) of your E500? Including the interior. I would like to see the alcantara pieces as well as the Brabus Instrument Cluster.

Love what you did with the car from what I can see. The 030 63 AMG brakes look amazing on your car. I think its time for myself to upgrade from my C32 AMG's to those now.

How did you get most of your mods anyhow? I.E. the brabus parts and engine parts...

Rouven036

the speedometer,ecu upgrade without speedlimiter was made by brabus for the only preowner.i change the differential and when i rebuild the engine i also install the brabus cams.i bought the cams from my old company in germany.the installing of these breaks are not easy,because you have to modify the stoppers of the steeringangle (do you know what i mean)about this i have got some pictures i will post it after work today.

thanks.... didn't see that...i'm really sory

I definitely know what you're talking about. I see you ran an adapter for the brake lines so it wouldn't hit the steering knuckle.

did you mod or trim the steering knuckle at all or was the only mods I see from the picture was the trimming of the protection plate and brake lining? With my C32 brakes I simple just used rear piston of an CL600. Didn't have to do any modifications to the steering knuckle just had to get some adapters for the brake line. I'm afraid I will run into more problems however with the 6-Piston's and now I'm wondering if I have to run 19's rather than 18's as I originally planned.

Thanks for posting more pictures! car looks absolutely stunning.

i think i came just looking at that EVO. and theres precious few cars that can do that when theres a hot 500E next to them.

nice cars man. top stuff.

Rouven036

@chrisdpham: attached two pictures you can see the red marked areas where i did the modifications and also there were are the green arrows,in this area i have made a hollow for the brake line conector,but you can not see this on this pictures.in the moment i hve got no better like this.you need also 2 spacers for each calipper, outer diameter 26mm,inner diameter 14mm , thickness 3,2mm.
