W205 C63S Aftermarket street brake pad options
Does anyone have any good recommendations for low dust aftermarket street brake pads for a 16 W205 c63s? (Non Carbon Ceramic)
Trying to search around but not finding much. What is a good site to purchase from?
Thanks in advance!

I'm curious what the pad difference is between red and silver calipers because to my eyes they look the same. I figured the actual difference is the caliper bracket since the S brake discs are larger.

I need some help. I have a 2016 C63 (non S) Estate with the grey calipers. I bought the R4-S Porterfield pads online and confirmed with the company that the correct parts I needed were:
AP1873 for the fronts https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=31391
AP1450 for the rears https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=19410
These are the ones that come up when you use their model search online. I was kind of expecting the rears to be the same as the C63S, but then reading the thread link above, I can see why they might be different.
But - the mechanic that is fitting them says the rears are not correct and they don't fit. Fronts are fine.
Has anyone else replaced their pads on a non S C63 with the R4-S from Porterfield? What's the correct pad to use?

For the "Red Caliper" it says "AP1669"
Hopefully someone with actual experience putting these on can confirm.

'17 AMG C63S Coupe
I use these on my '17 C63s coupe. I highly recommend them. I think I paid about $450 USD for the complete set directly from Porterfield.

For anyone interested, I can now confirm the rear pads are the same on the S and the non S. Got them fitted today.
For the non S (grey calipers), the correct part numbers if you want the R4-S pads are:
AP1873 for the fronts https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=31391
AP1669 for the rears (same as the C63S) https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=25787
For the non S (grey calipers), the correct part numbers if you want the R4-S pads are:
AP1873 for the fronts https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=31391
AP1669 for the rears (same as the C63S) https://www.porterfield-brakes.com/p...roductID=25787

Still a little early to do a full assessment but signs are looking good.
And these a much cheaper for me (In NZ) than the stock pads from Mercedes. They work out about half the price.

How easy are they to change? I’ve changed pads before on Camrys and stuff but not a MB. Anything special to watch out for? Any particular YouTube video that matches what I’d be doing?

How did it go? The squealing in my car is driving me bonkers. I city drive for work. Complete nonsense that they have not fixed this.
Mercedes you should be embarrassed that there is this much about this issue.
