Ouch, need new break pads and rotors for 2012 CLS, and they be pricey. Does anyone have an idea on where to buy them CHEAPER? Any non OEM would do:rolleyes.

Shootz, that's a good deal. I just ordered OEM front set for half of what the repair man quoted me, gonna change those out myself. I've done many a break job, just never on my Mercedes. If it requires too much swearing and busted knuckles, I'll pay for it later.

My 2012 has more than 210k km, still original rotors that came with the car, only changed the pads 6 times now, and polished them last time @ 205k km as last pads where making some noise.


good as new, and never had a problem.


I usually change my pads every 30-35k km, maybe depends on driving.

I have over 38000 miles on the car. I took it to a to a guy I trust and he told me I need to change the rotors as well because there is no tolerance available on these sloted rotors. Cannot turn them. I can feel the depth of wear on the rotors as well., so I believe him. I bought the replacements from .https://www.oemercedesbenzparts.com Very good website in design. I also live in Hawaii, so many online sellers won't ship here, real pain in the ***.
