I posted these on benzworld awhile back, but I figured I'd post them here for anyone who didn't see them. The late w126 brakes are noticeably larger(I did a quick search for dimensions,but no luck and little time) and do bolt right on to the w123 spindles. There had been a lot of talk about the compatibility, but I couldn't find anybody who had actually done it.So I just bought all the stuff and bolted it on.You would need calipers, rotors and backing plates(and wheels to clear them of course. I ordered mine for 1991 560 sec.W123 brake hoses work fine.This baby is still under construction so I can't tell you how much better they are than stock.My only other recent concern is the ability for the w123 master cylinder to push the extra volume.The w126 has a different master cylinder,so that may be an option.I'll let you guys know what I end up doing.This is the never ending project and has to be put on hold for a few months,but here are the brake pics. OK, heres one, the rest are 150kb and my photo editor just froze up :evil: maybe tomorrow.
