[W126 Coupe] Brake Rotors for the W126

[Ernie Stephens]

I was told that I need a brake job and I suspect that they are right; I'd like to think that I can do the brake job myself but thought I'd check with some of you more experienced than me for advice.  I went to performanceproducts.com  and found front rotors priced at $40, $60 and $90 and they all look the same to me; how does one choose which to buy? Any advice about doing one's own brake job appreciated.

Also, regarding diesels:
The 6.0L turbo diesel  in my 2003 Ford Excursion moves that big SUV chassis with more gusto than my normally aspirated 560 gas engine moves de Cpe.  If I ever have to spend the big bucks on engine repair I am wondering if it would be wise to replace the engine in the Cpe with a turbo diesel (any thoughts?).
