C230k Brakes
Hello,
I have a 99 C230K, and today I noticed that the brake warning light came on every time I depressed the brake pedal.
My questions:
Can I use ceramic brake pads with the stock rotors without any problems?
Are the front brakes the only ones with sensors?
I can change the oil, plugs, filters etc, should I be able to tackle this job on my own?
Any gotchas?
thank you.

How many miles you got ? If you are going with ceramic pads you might want to change over to cross-drilled & slotted rotors.I changed mine about 3 months ago and I am pleased with the results.I got the rotors from : www.irotors.com - the are in Norco , CA. I think I paid $200.00 for all 4 plus shipping.
