W216 CL63 AMG - Brake Pads

Hi everyone,
do you know the name of the producer of the original brake pads for CL63 W216? The thing is, that I can get TRW brake pads for about 1/2 price of the price, which Mercedes sells their brake pads for. Is it possible, that original Mercedes brake pads are actually TRW with Mercedes logo on them?

This is them: http://www.trwaftermarket.com/en/Pro...Brake-Systems/

Thanks for your ideas on this one.

I believe you are correct. What are you doing with Rotors??

I am still researching, but I am not going to pay 1k USD for each (that's the price from MB in Europe). So, I will try to find the company that makes them for MB or find different solution. 4k for rotors is just crazy.

Right now I am thinking Textar, but still researching: http://textar.com/

They vibrate a lot when braking intensively...

Warped.
Check thickness and if in specs just shave them so they are straight.

If out of spec. Too thin. Then change

So, just to let you know, Textar is the brand that makes original CL63 rotors.
