Late w126 brakes on w123
(08-21-2009, 10:40 AM)Motorhead What year is the gen difference in 126's, is the '86 a gen 1?GenI= 81-85
Quote:I like the idea of getting rebuilt calipers insted of used ones as well as new rotorsI priced it out around $300 to do the GenII brake conversion using nearly all new/rebuilt parts. Calipers, rotors, hoses and wheel seals new, only using used back plates.
Quote:So what do I need to put the 4 piston 12" brakes on my '84 300CDGet the calipers. As long as the rotors are the right diameter, R107 4-pots should fit right on. I doubt it would be worth the investment on top of the GenII brakes unless you intend to do a lot of road/rally/autox racing.
Quote:is there a rear brake option we could upgrade to?From what I've seen, the W123, W116, W126 and R107 all use the same 11" rear brakes.
