Put a set on immediately if not sooner! They are awesome brakes with almost NO brake dust. Ive had the fronts on my 08 W204 since last summer July 2016 and the response was incredible, so I went with the rear as well, it feels like a completely different car. You will have to learn to re-adjust your brake pedal pressure as the amount youre used to applying will make you and your passengers pitch forward somewhat in the seats. All things equal, lighter, gentler pressure will stop the car from what you got used to. This doesnt stop over time so Ive kinda ruled out that it was simply from having more pad material. I concur with the findings and experience of fellow listers AV1 and Sportstick, they are really good brakes with little to no dust, wash the car, and a quick and I mean quick wipedown and your wheels look like new.
