Check Brake Wear.
Just came on today on the way home. Is there higher performance pads available that will work with the stock calipers and disks?

OMG ....... close to 89K miles 
are you stopping using the "flintstone" technique by placing your foot out the door 
J/K !! That's comforting to know and I'm hoping by pads last just as long since a lot of my miles are highway miles anyways

It must have been a false alarm, the light hasn't come baclk on since. Not going to worry about it. BTW most of my driving is stop light to stop light with rare highway runs (my office is local). I still think my rears were replaced because of the brake dust problem they charged me though. I was over the limit in the TSB.

Ron did you get the OEM pads that came with the car a couple of years ago or the "new and improved" less brake dust pads of the TSB ?? TIA

Most cars it is a pretty easy job. When I had my SAAB in the 80's that cars fronts were a real PIA. The parking brakes were on the front wheels and they had to be reset when you changed the pads without the correct tool it took hours. I still have the wrench in my big tool box.

Hey Ron,
Can we get a quick update on this? How did it go? Did you go to Mercedes benz of massapequea for the parts? $130 for all four pads and sensor! That's nuts! What about the disks?
I am anticipating having to do mine soon and appreciate any heads up you can give me. did you find a DYI or have a manual at all?

Ron,
Mine are worn pretty good by now. I am going to have to replace / cut them. From what I've heard cutting doesn't appear to be an option. Did you jack it up one wheel at a time? If you have a floor jack how can you jack it from the center? The jack pad fixture only fits out by the rocker panel.

Yeah, I saw the adapter on Ebay, I should probably pick one up. Any Idea how much the rotors are? And BTW are you using the Service counter at Massapequa for parts?
