Does any one knows if my 2000 S430 has SBC brake system. I want to change brakes my self but some people says becouse of that system I must bring it to dealer?

No 220 series S-Class has SBC brakes.

again, you do not have SBC.

Oliver do you know how many sensors do i need? Or maybe i can re-use old ones.

Quadcammer

Just take a look at your brakes. If you see wires coming out of the center of the pad area, you need a sensor. count up how many, and go from there.

You need 3, and its not hard at all to change yourself. You will of course need a pin tap, to take the pins out that hold the brakes in. You would be surprised how easy it is. You don't even need to take the caliper off like most cars.

Quadcammer

for future thread searchers, that only applied to RWD cars.

The 4matic brake system is different and requires caliper removal.

Is there a place you can buy the rubber trimming on the side mirrors? How do you replace that?

Quadcammer

wow, random.

yeah, you can buy the rubber trim, but installing it is a pain.

What about a 2006 w203, does it have SBC brakes or can I do them myself? Also, in looking at my front brakes, I noticed that only the passenger side pads have a sensor on them, not the drivers side, is this normal?

this forum is for w220 S classes.

No SBC on the 203.

yes, your 1 sided sensor is fine.
