Retrofitting brakes on B class

[Guest mvdennis]

i guys i'm not sure what you think , but i feel the brakes on the B200T aren't really that strong ... am considering if its possible for me to upgrade them to bigger brakes like those from a stock E type or S type.

It's not the problem with the pads as i read from the service history slips that they have been replaced in just under a year ... (and the previous driver don't drive the car around a lot so the pads are still ok)

any one has any thoughts / experience in this?

Dun think the E or S brakes can be fitted to your car.

If budget not a problem, there are always AMG Brake Kit or after mkt like Brembo.

For AMG, U can see our site sponsor MBM

Bro check whether your brake pads are originals. In my experience B class brake is very good but down side front pad will not last more than 30k and the brake dust is mad, front rims always turn black if I not wash it for 4-5 days

I've heard good things about EBC brake pads... Does it emit lots of brake dust?

not much difference from ferodas ... i would say you'll end up needing to clean your rims every week (i travel about 300-400km a week) but the biting power is just superb
