Better braking is needed when you have more HP....

MB w123's ) all have solid rotors. I've had two cars that had small issues with the calipers sticking and then the fluid "boiled" and I had excessive brake fading. That can be scary. I've found out that the first gen w126 (280se/l, 380se/l and 500se/lEDIT- and on the 300sd) calipers and rotors can be swapped directly into a w123- it's plug and play. You must swap both the calipers AND rotors. You will not get more braking power but the w126 is vented and the w123 is solid- so you will have more cooling- less chance of brake fading....

If you don't want to go the used parts route, you can order rebuilt calipers and new rotors and use your old calipers for the core charge.

IIRC later 126's a slightly larger disc was used. IIRC, the last year W126 500 series had some a lighter caliper as well.

Have you guys seen the newer ATE discs? They have a "wear detector" that is basically 2 rounded squares grooved into the surface. Practically slotted. I will probably go with the ATE unless I upgrade to the vented.

pgringo i would not go with cross drilled. they are prone to cracking. even high dollar cross drilled end up cracking. i know a porsche club track racer who claims to have seen many. slotted and maybe cryo hardened is the goods.Slotted are available as well iirc.

Are the 126 calipers a piston on either side as well? using the same principle as the 123, or do they use a slide?

AFAIK, they are the same as the 123, just larger. It has been over 8 months since I seen my calipers.

I just found a '86 126 in the junk yard, it is a 420 and it is all there. How much of the brakes should I use from it, calipers/rotors & lines and anything from the rear? Hey does it have a LSD that I could use in my CD, if I didn't have 15" and 16" rims I would get the 15" chrome rims off of it.

That's a 2nd Generation W126. They have bigger rotors. So you'll need to get the spindle/steering knuckle, rotors, backplate and calipers. Maybe the lines if they look new.
The 420 didn't come with a LSD. Plus since it is 2nd Gen w126, it will not be a direct bolt in.
Surfrodder just recently installed his, so he'll be good to get more info from.

Yes that is correct. They are the same diameter as the w123 rotors, but vented and thicker which requires the w126 calipers to work.
I have this setup on my car and I think front vented rotors are imperative to have.

OK, but don't you have to do rather a lot of braking to overheat the rotors? for racing, or even driving down a mountain, i can understand this; when does it come up for you?

Couple of examples for my peace of mind i get with vented brakes.. I often drive over the Grapevine on the I5 which sometimes requires avoiding crazy drivers doing the unexpected going down the mountain. I'm also in constant stop and go driving in 100 plus degree ambient temperatures.
This is pretty much normal driving I do, but I would think on the hilly streets of San Fran, you should definitely consider this upgrade. City stop and go driving as well as stopping on a down hill should help with that performance.

09-29-2013, 11:58 AM #24I guess the use of the word "imperative" seems pretty dramatic. But you can have the potential for brake fade at any time in an emergency hard braking situation. Brake fade leads to longer stopping distance.

i can't deny that the vented rotor is better, just trying to prioritize other things given my limited bandwidth.

fair enough. is it well known at what rotors temperature the brakes suffer fade? i have a handheld infrared thermometer and i would like to sample their temperature right after heavy braking to get a sense of the risk here. as far as i know, i have never experienced brake fade in any car, but i could be wrong.

My understanding is regular stock brake pads are made to fade around 300°-350°C. Performance pads are made to fade about 400°-700°C.
Btw- I have a core set of 1st gen calipers I can let go cheap cheap cheap. You can rebuild them or trade them in for rebuilds. PM me if interested.

yep, 15" steelies is rare, and 15" hubcaps even more so.
looking for hubcaps for a complete sleeper look, mudflaps, hubcaps and not noticable lowered. 14" isnt an option with the front brakes changed.
go for first gen w126, they arent bad, and if you are not supposed to go racing on track, they will probably be more than enough
