ACSchnitzer has a brake upgrade, but its a distinct sacrifice in ride comfort (pulsating, etc) they are racing grade, also cost about 5k Eur.

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!
