brake problem!
i had my 350 for over 2500km.... i m just curious that does anybody complain about the brake for the slk. No doubt that it stop when i ever want to..but not good enough for a 270 horse powered vehicle.

squeaky
they do seem a bit mushy, however my old slk230 suffered from horrendous brake fade after medium speed use, in fact i once pulled over on a dual lane highway because there was smoke poring from the brake pads - it was the dust smoking away after 4 or 5 heavy stops.
don't notice the same thing on the slk350 (bloody good job to!) but they do squeak a bit when i want to do a low speed trickle for reversing or inching through traffic. presumably a function of the v6 rather than a problem with the brakes themselves!
