Need Help with my brakes!

Hi Everyone,
I really need some help with my brakes, It's time to get them done and flush the fluids. I called the dealer and few other import places to do the work for me and average quote was $1100-1500. I decided to do them myself and save me some money. I have a 2008 C300 4matic and I want to buy the brake pads and rotors all around. Can anyone please provide me with a link where to buy them or at least part numbers on all of them. I tried mbwholesalepartsonline.com and the pads they have on their websites states not to be suitable on my car.

My VIN number is: WDDGF81X38F180080

I appreciate any help!

Thank you,

$1100-$1500 really gets my attention '91...............

At my 40,000 miles service (Odometer at 32550 - I don't drive it much) the dealer said 4mm front/8mm rear. I thinking: "Wait for the dash icon/warning lite"

Check out :
https://www.fcpeuro.com/

https://www.ecstuning.com/

Both offer complete kits for a brake job. FCP has great videos on how to for the brake job. I just did the rear brakes on my C300, the worst part was getting the rear rotors off, PB Blast helped with that.

Actually a relatively easy DIY job. If I can do it, anyone can do it.

Good luck.

Thanks a lot , I have decided to go with the same ones you have mentioned in your video and I'm buying from your website! You guys have the best prices. I have read in many places that zimmerman rotors and akebono brake pads are as good as the genuine mercedes ones and very quite. Thank you everyone for your help y'all are truly a huge help

I just did the rear pads yesterday, not hard to do and saved me $$$. Tho I'm sticking to OEM pads not sure if I'll go aftermarket on rotors when it's time.
