I would recommend Akebono pads if brake dust is an issue. I drive up and downhill a lot and Brembo pads had their fair share of dust after a week. On flat land, not so much. On the Akebono branded pads, I've rarely dealt with brake dust (or at least my rims were not dirty enough to require cleaning).

Thank you very much for replying I appreciate it! Are they the same size and dimensions as the OEM ones?

I had Akebono's installed on my 07 E550. Yes, they do reduce brake dust but, you do lose a little stopping power. That said, I would also recommend Akebono brake pads.

I think he was getting at that the brake size pad has to basicly be the same size to fit the caliper.

i'm sorry if i offended you. no question is a stupid question especially if they are sincere. I think the 3 min commercial you dug up just solved your problem. According to Binny, you should forget about Brembo and go with Mercedes pads.

p.s. i think everyone here would appreciate if you can share with us what brands you are referring to that don't fit so we can avoid them in the future. i have been really lucky in the past 20yrs but you never know, my next set might not fit right.
