[W126 Coupe] Rotors and Pads Upgrade

[PaulLoui at comcast.net]

Another thing I just thought of...FYI. If your calipers need to be rebuilt because of worn boots, check to see the condition of the brake fluid behind the pistons. If there is any signs of rust or discoloration of any kind you will have to flush the whole system. I went through 51/2 cans of brake cleaner. Again good luck

Subject: [W126 Coupe] Rotors and Pads Upgrade 




Does anyone have any experience upgrading the pads and rotors on a 560 SEC? Mine are due for replacement and I was thinking about ceramic pads and drilled rotors. 

Any suggestions, experiences and sources would be appreciated. Is it worth the additional cost? Also, does anyone know where to get a rebuild kit for the calipers? 



Thanks
