I'm going to be ordering the Akebono ceramics for our SLK230 soon from Tirerack. They seem well made, many people that have them love them. Just order for the C32 because if you order for the '05 C230 it may not fit. Check with the MB dealer, they can enter your vin and give you the pad part number and check if it's the same part number as the C32 pads. My experience with ceramic pads on our Jeep have been good so far.
