[W126 Coupe] BRAKES

[Edward Chin]

That's odd; I've noticed considerable brake fade in my car on legal roads at
non-legal speeds, especially in the mountains.  I could sure use better
brake components.

 

I do like to step on the gas hard and the brakes hard though.after all, a
4300 lb car doesn't turn well at high-speed.

 

Regards,

 

Eddie

I haven't found a use for bigger brakes and I track my car...;-)

I know this is going to sound like a dumb question so please forgive this in
advance.

I have a completely stock '82 500 sec.  I drive this car at speeds of
200-240 Kph
on the autobahn for up to an hour in stop start traffic (idiots
decided that they want
to pass only when they see you coming!) and I have had terrific brake
service from
my car.

What is the advantage -- especially in the USA where the speed limit
is enforced?

Sincerely
