DD GT3 RD

originally the brakes squealed a bit and I was ok with it. But they are just louder and louder. Even when I clean them off with high speed braking the sound comes back.

So I need to find some brake pads that wont squeal or I am selling the car. Already checked out some cars to day and one dealer offered me 54k without seeing the car.

So help me out or if anyone is interested in buying a 2011 C63 with P31 for more than 54k make me an offer

Endless makes pads for the C63 but dont know how they are on noise, might wanna give ACGSD a call to check with them.

Whats the next ride Sammy?

You may want to check out the Porterfield pads. I think merc63 has them for a reference.

You can get them here:http://www.formymercedes.com/mb.asp Call Jerry and he will answer your questions.

Are your factory OEM pads squeeking?
How many miles on them?
Are the rotors glazed?

+1 on the Porterfield pads. They are great and at least a 50% less dust on the wheels. I love them

Yes my P31 was doing the same, however it was quite loud. I was within the 2 year wear and tear warranty and had fronts replaced. My rears continued to squeal, and are scheduled to be replaced in the next couple weeks.

Mine squeals too.

My stock pads would squeal at low speeds. I changed them to Porterfield RS4 from Jerry and no squeal anymore.

I had 50K km on the stock pads.. Just threw on these new ones and didn't even machine the rotors... Worked perfect.

Better then the 4k the dealer wanted.. lol cost me 400.

I find it interesting to hear about the brake squeal.
I believe my car has the same brakes and it's completely silent.
Do keep in mind that higher performing pads have increased tendency to squeel for a number of technical reasons.
Changing to "quieter" pads will give back some of your braking performance.

Some performance pad manufacturers (such as Endless, Performance Friction, etc.) chamfer the edges of their performance street pads to help reduce squeel.
Perhaps that is something you can try on your OEM pads.
A belt sander is all it takes to do it.
If it does not work, then you can try a different pad.
So nothing to loose except a bit of labor.
Thats nothing compared to taking a beating on a trade in.

I looked at my car and saw that the rear pads are chamfered but the fronts are flat.
Both were replaced in Nov, but rotors are still original.

My brakes where very loud too when the car was new. It went away after about 2,000km and hasn't returned. They are dead silent now. However, to the OP, I feel your pain!! When the brakes would squeal it was embarassing to say the least. No one expects a MB to sound like a 20 year old school bus. I would have the pads removed, the brakes cleaned and apply some anti-squeal paste. Follow this by a good bedding process and I bet it goes away.
