Sweet! How much did the brakes cost you? I own an autobody and mechanic shop in Burlingame so if you need a lift to install your brakes, let me know

Does the brake kit fit with stock brabus wheels?

Periclaws is right, those brakes will not work with the stock 15" rims, and the Brabus has 15" rims in the front. It may not clear, the Smann website states you must use a 16" rim or larger. www.smartmann.com

Ouch! I just verified that...
See if you can get the euro front wheels somewhere...

Tbone if you're going to be using those for the front you're gonna need 16" front wheels!

Thanks for the heads up on the front wheels, but I knew that. My next mod is 17" HRE's

LittoDevil - thanks for your offer, but I take my car to SonicMS in Mountain View.

Careful

Be careful. If you stomp on those, you'll probably flip your car over on its back.

Iv had these brakes for a few months now on my 450. No problems with that!

But be aware of the brake fade you'll be getting! I forgot to mention that....
