2006 S500 brakes

i need to replace my front rotors. the brembos are the ones im looking at being they are made in germany. the rotors are drilled. has amg package. is there are way to fine out the size or brake package it has on options code? the calipers are not red, and from looking at pics the amg rotors dont look like the ones we have, all the brake stuff you see through the rim is greyish except pads which are black...and are seeing the rotors are different for 03 to 06, need some help on this please...

i have mb pads now and they leave alot of dust, i hear ceramic helps from this forum but dont mention a specific pad maker, anyone have any advice one which pads? anyone know why mercedes uses a pad that puts out so much dust? is there a reason? like does it help protect the rotor from warping? i hear ceramic can cause the rotor to get hotter and warp it, however this is what i read, i dont know for sure, need some help on this to, thanks

Look at http://brakeperformance.com/. I have been using them and they have been pretty good. No problems with their product.

I use akebono and they are very dustless (about as good as you can get). You can literally wipe the wheels off with a cloth.
