FS: Big brake upgrade kits for 124, 129, 201

Upgrade Kit #1: SOLD
This is a set of four brake calipers from an early 500E. They are remanufactured by TRW and have never been installed. New brake pads and wear sensors are included. These are iron Ate calipers. The front size is 300mm x 28mm, the rear size is 278mm x 24mm.

These will bolt on to any 124 or 201 chassis, all years, all models. The only modification required will be trimming the rear dust shield, and this is only needed if your stock rear rotors are smaller than 278mm (i.e., most 201's, and most diesel or M103 124's). This is a perfect brake upgrade for the 124 or 201, and does NOT have clearance problems with the front ball joint like the smaller (294mm or 295mm) E320/E420/400E brakes do! You will need 16-inch wheels to clear the front calipers.

Sorry, I do not have rotors available for this kit, but I can supply the part numbers you need to order. To buy all four new rotors will cost about $250 total (including S&H) from most WorldPac vendors for a set of 4 standard Brembo, Ate, or Balo rotors.



Upgrade Kit #2: SOLD
I have a different brake upgrade kit for sale also (see photos below), with the same front calipers (but used, not new, and with used pads), new/rebuilt 278mm x 9mm rear calipers & pads (from SL500, not 500E), and new 278x9 rear rotors (but no front rotors). Since 124 wagons (and M104-powered 124 sedans) already have 278x9 rear rotors, this is only an "upgrade" for the W201, and diesel/M103 W124's. The two front rotors you will need to complete this kit are about $70 each from WorldPac vendors. As with the first kit, you will need 16-inch wheels to clear the front calipers.


Upgrade Kit #3:
This is a Brembo big brake kit for you serious horsepower junkies - click this link for full details and photos.


Upgrade Kit #4:
334mm Brembo front calipers only - see photos below. Asking $600, free shipping in the USA:

GSXR:
Just a note of thanks,
I bought kit 2 and bolted it up this week along with new drilled oem 300mm x 28 front rotors. Also added 18x8 Monoblocks and 245 rear / 225 front Michelin Pilots for a little more stopping traction.

The braking improvement is immediately obvious.

Everything here was just as described. And better. Great Seller!

Rich, yeah gsxr is a good guy.

once you get used to those 300x28s, think about the 334x32s, they clear the aero II 18s that I sold you. I already checked for you! The fender roller is on its way.

Gsxr, are you just selling the front 334mm calipers?

Thanks for the kind words, Rich. Glad to hear everything worked out well. Your car looks sharp, btw! Those factory Sportlines are pretty rare, which is why I had to make my own, lol!

Austin, yep, I have one last set of 334mm fronts and that's it. I'm hoping someone with a R129 will snap 'em up.... they're a great upgrade for an SL600!
