Rotors and brake pads
I am having trouble deciding on good quality brakes and rotors for my manual trans C300.
Choices:
-Textar brake pads or Royal Brakes Canada brake pads
-Zimmerman rotors or Royal Brakes Canada rotors

I never tried any of these brands, but it' well know that the OEM pads and rotors provide high levels of performance with the best levels of durability. To me they are the best of both worlds and that's why I stick with OEM for my MB cars.
From what I read on the forums though, I would go with Textar pads and Zimmerman rotors. I never heard of royal brakes Canada although I used to live there.

Hello fellow lebanese members😂
If you cannot afford the oem brake pads and rotors, i would recommend going with zimmerman and textar (altho w204 oem brake pads are kind of ceramics, textar is pure brake dust) since they are OE suppliers for merc and i had them on my old w203 and they ran flawlessly

IMO;
OEM Rotors & pads designed to give the best stopping power all seasons, but they will make huge dust, and corroded so fast..?!,,
your wheels suffered & coughed mostly,
also, they will not last longer than they should..!|!,
but at the same time;
can't ignore there's a great aftermarket brake Rotors & pads that can be "more durability/stronger/more aggressive/last longer/very less dust"..
