Always wanted this type of brake set up for the 500E. I miss the AMG braking power on the 04 E55. Spectacular!

These are way bigger than the 2004 E55, which IIRC had 360mm front and 330mm rear.

I can't imagine what braking would be like with these 380's (or, the larger 396mm front units available). Not much difference around town, but at high speeds...

 

[cole67]

Yes sir serious braking power. I'm always justifying brake size and rim size/weight to determine the best combo that doesn't affect handling and ride quality.

Those blueprints is the cherry on top!

Also if someone could share some knowledge, how much stress of braking force can the W124 handle?

With stock brakes, the limiting factor is generally brake torque, i.e. the friction between the pad+rotor - especially at high speeds.

With larger brake calipers/rotors/pads, and/or racing pad compounds, the next limiting factor is typically available traction.

When you have more braking power than tyre grip, ABS engages. When you have more grip than braking power, ABS will not engage.

I'm not aware of any "limit" to how much braking force the 124 could handle.

 

[Rouven036]

Nothing will break, the braking force limit is the transmittable force defined by the friction between road and tire. Bigger tires = more force transmission however it would not break the axle components or something else on the car. You will increase loads on bushings etc. when you use the increase of performance permanently... But that's rather not the case.

Back in the 2009-11 timeframe I was researching a lot around BBK (big brake kit) and I was considering this kit from MOV'IT as well. I had a good Email converstion with them, including advices from the well known Bernard who was running this kit on his Brabus 6.5 (E500 Limited). I pulled out due to cost and went for an alternative solution with hoarding AMG parts and a DIY, but later on my BBK plans went way down on the list due to other priorities.

@Draginev it's not an answer to your question, but FWIW I did some calcs regarding increased pedal travel with a BBK install while keeping the stock brake pump/MC. This can be used to get an idea of the increased brake forces as well because the formula is based on force per area. The friction area is the total brake pads contact area, and the forces are transferred by the total caliper piston area. As long as the pressure source (brake pump/MC) is kept unchanged, that factor can be put up as 1 in the calcs. Then you can alter the total piston area to get an idea of the brake force. It is a number of other playing factors into this like brake line expansion, brake fluid temp and boiling point, brake pad compound, disc material etc... But as long as those variables are kept unchanged it will give a theoretical idea when comparing calipers expected braking force.

 

[Draginev]

@500AMM Very interesting, thanks for sharing this.
Also thanks @gsxr explaining this.

I'm thinking more about the stress of that force transferred to the housing parts (knuckles, bushings) and chassis if it can handle the stress and the inevitable inertia. Usually they do that testing to hyper cars for getting maximum brake performance. Which I'm not sure if the engineers did the same for W124 like they did to W211/W212 with bigger and better performance.

@500AMM,
Arnt, That’s a GREAT explanation above in post #8 for us with lower math skills. (Like 2+2=4)

I never realized that you were a ROCKET SCIENTIST!

 

[ngenius1]

My only question is, why so much !?
~Surely you could get a custom setup for a lot less.

Yup. The seller can ask all they want, but that doesn't mean there are any buyers at this price.

 

[R129 UK]

Shouldn't this be called Stop-It? Especially at that price
