another brake question.
so, i'm thinking of doing the front brakes myself. i found pad sets online.
for those that have done this before, is there anything else i need? besides sensors. are the sensors even required?
OEM Pads

Pagid's are fine, they are one of the brake brands that MB uses, even Brembo. They should be about $50 and the sensors are available at the dealer but you don't need new ones unless they've been tripped and the warning light came on. If dust is a problem for you then you may want to consider Porterfields although they'll be pricier. You'll also need some anti-squeal goo, let it dry before putting it on or you will make a mess.
