HaHaHaHa sorry man, I didn't know that Benz people bought them so I never said anything, i didnt want to say R1 and everyone yell that ricey stuff or anything like that. you know how people love to FLAME on these boards.

BTW you know for extra they can engrave designs in the rotors right? Mine are getting done right now engraved with the R1 Logo.

Lol just the cheapest ones I could find, basically something that works and fits properly. I believe the pads were Kool Vue and the rotors were Pronto (mfd in Fort Worth). Both fit perfectly unlike the duralast stuff at autozone which I had to return after much frustration.

Thanks to all of you for responding to my question. Looks like it's going to be ceramic pads with OEM rotors at an independent mechanic.

You guys don't develop squeaking or anything, when you do it yourself? I love doing things DIY, I just really don't want squeaky brakes. Even Mercedes parts makes brake work cheap, if you DIY.

Any online sources to get OEM parts right from a site without having to call a dealer?
