Question Need recommendation on performance brake pads for CLS55.

I need to replace my OEM brakes. Would like to receive opinions on what would be ideal for our vehicle. I would like something that would offer maximum performance, preferably one that would produce less brake dust. Should I be looking at ceramic brakes? I have no clue when it comes to brakes. Please help! Thank you.

Try lookin into Porterfield R4-S pads. I have heard many great things about them. I recently bought my set but I'm waiting for new rotors to come in.

I would recommend staying with the brembo rotors if you have the 030 pacakage. The Porterfields and the EBC Red Stuff are great low dust pads over the MB.

Benzo,
What is the cost of the stock rotors?
