(01-05-2018, 05:21 AM)Mr_Robs Are there any calipers worth upgrading to on the 124 that will still fit under 16in wheels?

I have some used 400e calipers but if theres something larger but does not require 17 inch wheels id rather upgrade before rebuilding these 400e ones.

If you have twin piston fronts with vented rotors you are doing OK. The later wagons had something like 294mm rotors with cast iron four pot fronts. Rear rotors were also vented. 

Early 500e was 300mm. The catch is that the front calipers were Brembo, and aluminum, i.e. several pounds lighter than the cast iron equivalent.

Later 500e had the 320mm, but back to cast ATE 4-pots. They have a bit more fade resistance obviously, but are much heavier than the aluminum Brembos. I am not sure they will fit the 16". I believe 300mm is the largest you can go with 16". Check the 500eboard.
