Recommendations for Brake upgrade shops Northern CA?
Any suggestions for an aftermarket brake specialist (Brembo) in Northern CA? i.e near San Jose, San Fran, Fremont, Oakland Area... It's about time to do a brake job on my 07 S550 , and I am contemplating upgrading, or at the very least switching to anything other than the OEM MBZ parts..
Can anyone who has done the Brembo brake upgrade confirm whether the Brake pad wear sensors still work with the Brembo upgrade?

I dis the bigger brake upgrade on my S600. Love the brakes. I would wear out a set of factory brakes in 7000 miles. (rotors would be so glazed over that the car wouldn't stop).
No problems with the Brembos.
The brake wear sensors do NOT work.

Anyone try out the Rotora big brake kits? Very price competitive... How good are the parts though? I believe Evosport reps this brand.
