If I had my family in the car with me I would think that the S600 brakes would work just as well as AMG brakes. I say that because you don't need any bigger brakes to make an aggressive stop if you are doing it once or twice. The brakes are big enough and the ABS system will take over anyway. It's only if you are doing a lot of hard braking, like on a tight circuit that the larger brakes will help dissipate the heat.

lol sorry - i had just read a story on learjet and its in my head
HOnest - at 35mph...... if i gotta stop - the brakes on my S550 are suffice too.
You only really need those S600/S63 brakes if u are gonna be traveling at high speeds and need to stop fast!

It's a temptation. So far, fear of exceeding the transmissions torque certification has kept me from doing it, although I know many people have done it with no problem.
