If you own a Mercedes Benz, you should buy these pads. I have the sport package on my car with the four piston front brakes. From the factory, these brakes work beautifully. What drives me crazy is that the brake dust is terrible. One drive around the block and you have to clean the wheels again. The pads from Akebono are ceramic and are much cleaner. I am very impressed. After one thousand miles, they are quiet, NVH free, and the wheels are still clean. That''s right - still clean. I combined the pads with Goodridge SS braided brake hoses and cross-drilled rotors from Royalty Rotors of Santa Clara, CA. The brake performance is as good as original if not slightly better. I couldn''t be happier with the result. Buy these pads!

I was some what disappointed with the initial performance. I guess I need more time to evaluate since I can still see the design on the rotors. The initial bite is not as good as I would like. I have tried several low dust pads and this seems to be how most of them perform. They are nowhere near the OEM BMW pads in performance but I just can''t tolerate the amount of black brake dust the OEM pads produce.

I had INFINITI G35. These brake pads are underperformed. The stopping power was very poor and eating rotors as well. The only positive side of comments was less dust. I will not buy it again.
