[W126 Coupe] Brake Pads

[Dawid Loubser]

I am very happy with MB's - better than any third-party ones I've  
ever used, for normal use (though I do drive
my 560SEC pretty hard).  No squealing, very smooth.

However, for very hard racing around you'll have to consider better  
pads, and usually also
rotors - and *good* brake fluid, very easy to boil on these cars. The  
SEC has very very powerful,
but very small, brakes - great for a few hard stops, but you'll burn  
them in no time with prolonged
spirited driving.
