Brake Pad Suggestions?
2001 C240. Got new rims and the brake dust is brutal. Any suggestions to remedy the problem without making the slow raking squeal any worse?
Thanks

I would go with the Akebono Euro Ceramic if you're concerned about brake dust. I have hardly any brake dust on the rims and I haven't washed the car in 2 weeks. The rims are also much easier to clean. I think tirerack is the cheapest; try ebay as well.

I was going to say placeforbrakes.com. They've been good to me and when I looked they were a little cheaper than the rest, but then it wasn't a big difference so I wouldn't worry about it, but you might keep them in mind.

C450, GLS 63 and a few other things
Armor All has a product, used to be "wheel protectant" but I think renamed Outlast or something. It does a pretty good job of repelling brake dust and making whatever brake dust that does get there to wash easily. The big problem with it is that it just doesn't last very long. Probably a couple of washes or 3 weeks or so, and it needs to be applied to a clean wheel, so you end up washing them every few weeks anyway. They look much better between washings though.
