Brakes Pads and Rotors
I want to do my front braked on my CLK 430. Do you guys have any suggestions on what brand of Pads and Rotors would be a good choice?
In the pads, preferably one that does not create as much brake dust as the ones that came with my car. I am tired of coming out the car wash, and my wheels are black in a day.

Porterfield R4s pads work great for me......much less dust and they stop great too.
As far as rotors do you want slotted/drilled/stock??? I think Eradi/brembo/powerslot all make them.

Cross drilled tends to crack if the holes aren't cast into the rotor vs being drilled into a flat surface rotor. Slotted works well with no drawbacks. They are just harder to find.
Call EvoSport one of the board sponsors and ask for Ben.
