If the G60 S2 twin pots are maintained well enough they are decent brakes.Our 2.8 80 cabriolet has them and they stop very well.
If you want really good brakes then go for Porsche 996.Last edited by Vorsprung durch Technik; 18 December 2014, 12:06.96 URS6 plus speck saloon

Brakes
There are - as you'll see if you search the threads - loads of variations you can go for depending on your aim and budget.
From experience I can vouch for the combination of:
996 calipers
Audi A8 discs
RS2 caliper carriers
Hard and braided brake lines
Not cheap - but probably the best trade-off between performance improvement and budget.
NOTE you'll not get a set up like this inside standard wheels so budget for 18" rims as a min.
