just finished up brake upgrade on the 124
swapped in brakes from a E420
in the front upgraded to 294 x 25 rotor and the four piston calipers
from the stock 284 x 22 rotor and the stock caliper

in the rear upgraded to the vented 278 x 24 rotor with the dual piston caliper
from the solid 258 x 9 rotor and single piston caliper.

also installed teflon/stainless hoses.

while its not quite the E500 brakes, the new braking performance
is absolutely breathtaking..
