FS: Big brake upgrade kits for 124, 129, 201
Upgrade Kit #1:
This is a set of four brake calipers from an early 500E. They are remanufactured by TRW and have never been installed. New brake pads and wear sensors are included. These are iron Ate calipers. The front size is 300mm x 28mm, the rear size is 278mm x 24mm. See photos posted below.
These will bolt on to any 124 or 201 chassis, all years, all models. The only modification required will be trimming the rear dust shield, and this is only needed if your stock rear rotors are smaller than 278mm (i.e., most 201's, and most diesel or M103 124's). This is a perfect brake upgrade for the 124 or 201, and does NOT have clearance problems with the front ball joint like the smaller (294mm or 295mm) E320/E420/400E brakes do!
Sorry, I do not have rotors available for this kit, but I can supply the part numbers you need to order. To buy all four new rotors will cost about $250 total (including S&H) from most WorldPac vendors for a set of 4 standard Brembo, Ate, or Balo rotors.
$450 for the full set of 500E rebuilt calipers, pads, and wear sensors.
Upgrade Kit #2:
I have a different brake upgrade kit for sale also (not shown in the photos below), with the same front calipers (but used, not new, and with used pads), new/rebuilt 278mm x 9mm rear calipers & pads (from SL500, not 500E), and new 278x9 rear rotors (but no front rotors). Since 124 wagons (and M104-powered 124 sedans) already have 278x9 rear rotors, this is only an "upgrade" for the W201, and diesel/M103 W124's. This second brake kit is $350, click here for a photo of what's included. The two front rotors you will need to complete this kit are about $70 each from WorldPac vendors.
Upgrade Kit #3:
This is a Brembo big brake kit for you serious horsepower junkies - click this link for full details and photos.
