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

This will be involed - you need the ABS control module, ABS unit, rear diff 
with ABS speed pick-up, all the additional plumbing for pipes too.....

The parts from a breaker (UK) will probably cost in the region of about 
$1500 - but it's the labour involved as well. I'd put aside $2500 easy.

In my view, what's most effective is the right combination of pads and 
discs, right brake fluid to reduce brake fade and stainless steel hoses to 
maintain better pressure.

Things like ABS and ASR ruin the purity of a motor car. I think a big brake 
set-up is much better and more fun than ABS.
