Hi All.... brake pads

Hi All

I need to change the front brake pads on my C220 sport W204, was wondering if anyone could recommend any that they may have used...
Was thinking either Mintex or Apec? First post....

Thanks

my fav are Hawk brake pads, track performance minus the dust and squeaky sound that some performance brake pads have

+1 for Akebono EUR series pads. Great street performance, quiet even when cold or wet, and essentially dustless. After trying them out, now running four cars on them.

Hawk pad are good but I don't believe they make them for our W204. According to their site anyways.

I put duralast gold brake pads on. They work well & have a lifetime replacement guarantee

I now have a 2012 c250, the stock OEM pads on this car are almost completely dust free, totally amazing. I have a 12 GLK that has the usual amount of dust, I also had a 08 C300 that too was terrible along with an equally dirty ML350, that was so bad I went to aftermarket dust free very expensive pads, they compromised the braking too much.
Again, the solution is the OEM pads on my 12C250 sport. They are perfect and I am sure that all 204 calipers use the same pads fitment.
