Brakes
Going in tomorrow to get new brake pads after 22k miles. Just curious what you guys have been paying on your AMG. I was quoted $450 for the fronts and $1k all the way around. Thanks in advance.

Hi Calvin,
Yes, I remember your deep dish rims
...I was behind you last night as you were behind this white M5. But I am far from looking like a girl with by bald head
Seriously, I need to start modding soon. But it is hard to mod the exterior without ruining the flow of the stock shape. Maybe CF front lip and spoiler. Also, I will probably get the Kleemann K2 later this year or early next year.
Is that your house? I think I jog by that home every morning as I live on Gleneagles Cir and run through Cannes Pl during my morning jog. BTW, I am Aaron. Let me know if you want to meet. Regarding Beshoff, I just got their discounted $89.95 coupon for synthetic oil change, so I am bringing my car in tomorrow for the work. I will ask for the brake prices then.
Thanks and sorry to the OP for OT.

06 CLS55 w/ P030, 05 Jag S Type R, 05 TBird-68 Dodge Charger R/T-440 w/4speed I'm original owner
I had great sucess with the EBC red stuff on my Jag R type. Big improvement on the brake dust issue.
Having the 030 package and the upgraded front brakes, not sure if EBCs are the way to go. Does anyone have experience with non Brembos pads on the 030 package?

Before you guys start going wild with non MB brake stuff, consider the sure way to get quality rotors which are Brembos and only available thru MB All other rotors are crap and not sure what metallurgy you get.

for your 55, with the EBC redstuff, and OEM rotors would be $665 shipped anywhere in the connected USA.
Price above is for non 030 vehicles.
