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

[David Fatovic]

Also any sort of oil or greese (even from your hands)
on the rotors will get on to the pads, and be
delivered to the rest of the rotor and pad.  That will
cause slipping.  Those rotors must be cleaned with
brake cleaner to get all that off when installing. 
Just because a mechanic did the work, does not always
mean he did it correctly.
