Gen II w126 brakes - sassparilla_kid - 08-18-2012
I plan on upgrading my front brakes in the near future, just wondering if there are any brands of calipers and rotors I should try to steer clear of, or anything like that. I was looking on partsgeek.com and they seem to have a pretty good selection at reasonable prices, and I could probably get just about everything needed for around $200 or so, depending on what make of calipers and rotors I go with
Thanks

Ate calipers are my first choice,but Bendix are good also. I would stay with the German made rotors,had troubles with all others that were used.

Thanks I'll keep that in mind!

I have placed my order! Waiting on some re-manufactured ATE calipers, and some Beck/Arnley rotors.
ALSO!!!! If anybody has an extra set of the larger backing plates from a late w126 that aren't being used, I still need those.
Thanks!
