Brake Choices

I'm looking to replace the brakes on my 09, rotors/pads/sensors who sells the complete package? I see there's a lot of choices however I don't recognize many of the name brands, of course Brembos are out of my reach

thanks in advace

I have a couple of friends that have Ksport Procomps brakes kits on their MB's.

They seem to like the stopping power and the astetic look of their big brake packages.

If you care i'd recommend Akebono pads with factory rotors and sensors. The Akebonos work very well and nearly ZERO brake dust. I've run them for 120k miles and my wheels are spotless.

Another question is the rotors. If you look closely, you will noticed the drilled rotors are drilled in a different pattern than the aftermarkets. I know Mercedes has a reason for this, but we will probably never know why. I've sold many aftermarket rotors over the years, and this question has never been answered.

Jason, that's a hell of a question! I'm sure there's a reason behind that, great observation!
