anyone upgrade their brakes?
Hi all,
I'm enjoying my 2002 E320 wagon, but I've been a bit spoiled by the AMG brakes from the CLK55 and the S600.
Has anyone upgraded W210 wheels yet and how's the result?
How much would it be for the upgraded components?
P.S. Since the brakes will likely work better, is there risk the front end may "dive" more during braking...shocks are 114k miles old, but I think still original.

Almost as
good results
Insure good rotors are installed
good pads
install SS brake lines
flush fluid properly.
Big brake set ups are mostly show on a bone stock W210 wagon.
You will however get much better performance and confident pedal feel doing the above at a fraction of conversion to AMG or aftermarket BB kits.
