290hp is nice but do you think you will need a brake upgrade. I will be changing the ECU when ACSchnitzer releases one for the 550 which will be close to 500hp and well over 700Nm, I plan on keeping the same brakes personally. Fact is, 260kmh is 260kmh whether I have 410hp or 500hp, requires same braking.

Good luck with the mods, I am waiting on the ACSchnitzer springs and exhaust to arrive at my dealer for installation this month, keep us updated on your mods and your impressions!
I think I need it yes -)).

I like some good cornering and braking (not really the straight line guy xD).
My home is close to the Port of Antwerp, and in the weekends the streets there are awesome to drive.
When I drove there for the first time, I discovered that the brake's aren't fantastic.

I'll sertenly keep you up to date if :-)!

Congrats on your 550, I'm so jealous!
That's the thing I really mis in my car. The sound of a nice V8.
I would go for an Eisenmann exhaust if there is one for the 550. They rule!
