[W126 Coupe] would anybody be interested in big brakes?

[Shayegan, Richard]

Hmmm, really? Does it make a difference that I have an SE so it's going
to have different weight distribution? In dry weather on a relatively
clean street if I slam the brakes (as was the case in the incident I
recently experienced, the aftermath of which can be seen here
http://Davidson.smugmug.com/gallery/489366/1/19970583 ), the ABS does
not go into affect and the tires don't squeal. My fluid is fresh, and
while I suspect how much is left on my pads and rotors currently, I
don't recall slamming the brakes in dry weather at speeds lower than say
70mph or so ever being able to kick in the ABS. My ABS does go off in
the rain and ice though.

Bull. Your braking system must have some serious problems.
