Excess brake pad dust on front wheel
I am using OEM brake pads all around. Due to excess brake pad dust on front wheel, I am thinking to replace a new set of brake pads.
has any one try EBC pads before? it claims better brake with less dust. Is it true? Do I have to replace the rotor all together with EBC pads?

I've heard from someone on the SLK board that the EBC's warped their stock rotors...I have porterfields on my C280, and i'm not really too happy with them...they squeek a lot, and the braking performance seems to be reduced..i'm going back to stock...even if that means i have to clean them more often...

Try the Pagid pads, it's what Brembo uses and they're cheap at about $50. This place has them http://buymbparts.com/
To minimize squealing when you install them, bevel the leading and trailing edges with a file and use lots of anti squeal paste.
