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

[Markus Meyer]

Come on now Richard, give me a break!  You don't know what Motorwerks is?  Have you been reading the emails on the list?  The meet this weekend was held there, it is Satish's shop, go to the website (whose address I publicized several times) and check it out.  I'm not telling you that you have to buy there, but be a little smart and call the people who do this work for a living and get their opinion - their FREE opinion!  I've called places before for the Brembo upgrade package and they don't know our cars, don't care, and are willing to take your money and run.  If you are going to spend that much you should be getting a first second and third opinions.

And first off I would get your current system checked to make sure its okay.

Markus

Because I don't know what Motorwerks is and AFAIK Bergwerks is just a<br>reseller for all the other companies I've been contacting directly.<br>Richard<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: mbcoupes-bounces at mbcoupes.com<br>[mailto:mbcoupes-bounces at mbcoupes.com] On Behalf Of Markus Meyer<br>Sent: Monday, April 18, 2005 2:39 PM<br>To: mbcoupes at mbcoupes.com<br>Subject: RE: [W126 Coupe] would anybody be interested in big brakes?<br><br><br>If you are going to this much hassle, why don't you stick to the<br>"family" and contact Bergwerks or Motorwerks for opinions and quotes?<br><br>Markus<br><br> --- On Mon 04/18, Shayegan, Richard < rishayegan at davidson.edu > wrote:<br>From: Shayegan, Richard [mailto: rishayegan at davidson.edu]<br>To: mbcoupes at mbcoupes.com<br>Date: Mon, 18 Apr 2005 14:19:59 -0400<br>Subject: [W126 Coupe] would anybody be interested in big brakes?<br><br>All the companies I've got responses from say they either never made<br>or<br>stopped making big brakes for the W126, but one company said if<br>they got<br>20 orders they'd whip up a batch.
