Hi All,

first post here, so bear with me. I have a2012 C350 sport that is an incredible car. One of the things I have disliked about it though is the brake dust! Its finally time to replace the pads and I plan on replacing front and rear at the same time. Only the front need to be replaced, but since I am starting fresh with aftermarket pads I plan on doing all 4. That leads me to the question:

Do you have a recommendation for a good street brake pad. The car is driven primarily by my wife that only knows to forms of acceleration. Hard accelerate, and hard stop! I cant change her driving style so the pads have to keep up without any noise and still perform as they should. We do not race the car... she is just hard on brakes. I have thought about ceramic but I don't want to jeopardize the rotors. I am thinking of a standard Semi-Metallic, but its difficult to find what I am looking for.

I appreciate any advice, thanks again!!!

Euro Akebono Ceramic Pads, only pad you'll ever want on your car after you try them. No more black dust all over my rims and performance and durability is great.

Thanks Carlos, I had seen reviews of those and they were on my list to look at. Do you know if the brake sensors need to be replaced? Mercedes says yes, if I have the pads changed out there, but they (stealerships) seem to change out stuff like that even when it does not need changed.

The akebono comes with sensors included. Only needs to be changed if it has been tripped. Otherwise you can reuse the original sensor.

Awesome, thanks!
