AFAIK, those will eat your rotors quick.

I had read about increased stopping distances. Now you've said they devour rotors too. That sounds like a heavy price to pay for "low dust" pads.

I've ordered from this website before a Genuine Cover for my C43. I had no problem at all dealing with them. They have which I believe are genuine pads for a really good price. I would call them first and check though.

I'm looking at pads and lines for mine as well and I received the following email when I requested a quote:

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the interest!
Hawk does not make the rear pad, however the SP pad will work well in
the rear.

1998 MERCEDES-BENZ C43 AMG
(front) HAWK HPS BRAKE PADS $74/set
(rear) SP STREET PLUS BRAKE PADS $42/set


For ordering, or for more information, you can reach me directly at:
800-733-8380.

Best Regards,
Chris.

FCP Groton is a quality place to get parts. Used to get stuff for my Volvo from there. At least my dealings with them were good.

I also had the Akebono pads and liked them. Not too much dust and they worked well. Wouldn't autox with them, but for the street they were ok.
