You see my front calipers in this thread...I dont like the look of the S65 calipers and spare parts on them are WAY to expensive. W211 E55 brakes in front is fine by me.

Small? Its the biggest you can fit and it is a big wheel.

When are u planning to get the new speakers installed? I'm really curious on the difference vs the HK. 1200 isn't a bad deal if it sounds 2x better than the HK
