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

[Shayegan, Richard]

To tell you the truth, I deleted everything about the Detroit meet. I
guess if put to the task I could have guessed that Motorwerks is
Satish's shop (I knew he had a shop but I didn't know the shop name),
but I didn't know that for sure. Also, I've been to the shop website and
I got the impression that they were a dealership, not a modification
shop.

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:
