It's time to change the brakes!
Hey guys,
It's time to change the brakes and I am looking at alternatives other than Silver Star (I am in Canada).
What are my options? Any input would be be appreciated!

I have found alternative by the name of TRW.
Anyone knows anything about them? I looked in the forum, and a famous debate was about the manufacturing affiliation with MB... Could be wrong!

I have seen porterfielf rs4 pads mentioned quite a bit on this forum. I have no personal experience with them though

Yep I use these too. RS4.
If your rotors are within the wear limits, just throw on new pads and drive away. Its pretty easy to do at home.

I put on new pads at 50k km and there was 1mm of wear on the rotors. Easily another 1mm of wear left before getting close to the limit.
Id say the rotors could see 100k km with average use.
