Akebono Ceramic Brake Pad Set for 03' SL55

Any experience with these brake pads with the OEM one piece rotors? I just ordered them on Amazon, they were $114.68 + Free Shipping.

I used up one new set in a day and a half of track driving. I've had good experience with them on the streets and highways in other cars. I like EBC Red Stuff - maybe a little better for braking, and about the same for dusting.

Thank you for the input, I look forward to installing them next week. I will post some updates once I get some time in with them. I have another brand on my S55, and once you go "dustless", there is no going back.
