The work starts and few questions

Now about to start the upgrades on the Waggon after a short delay due to another cardiac arrest !
Been offerd a full set of brabus series 111 brakes with 12 piston front and 380mm two piece disks and 6 pot rears with two piece disks , the same set up as used on the new bullet and rocket cars . Would these be a worth while upgrade ? They are almost new , done 1100 miles and I can get them for £1400 the set including pads .
Would they be a noticeable improvement on stock ?

Sorry about your cardiac situation.

You should not install them, but rather send them my way . In all seriousness, please let me know if you would consider selling & shipping to the US.
