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

[David Fatovic]

Are you sure you bled the brakes properly?  Fresh
brake fluid, new pads and new rotors won't do a thing
if you have air in the lines.  You will still have
mushy brakes.  One question, does a SE have antilock
brakes?  Also what was the condition of all your brake
lines?
