Brakes upgrade or not ???

**Prado** · 08-30-2008

Hello Dan

Just wondering if the factory fitted brakes in the 09 SLK280 good enough or we would need to upgrade them with those aftermarket BKK ??

Is the factory fitted 4 pots for front ??

Thanks in Advance

Yeah to be fair the brakes can do the job alright, in my view they dont need upgrading.

From what i can see...
for SLK 200/280 the front seem like only 4Pots and rear 2Pots
SLK 350 is like the same spec but only Bigger in both rotors and Calipers

seem like my Pad are gone soon and i track a lot on this car,
is it better to change to a aftermarket BBK or the AMGs?
