Tirerack has some good prices on them. Sometimes even on sale.
The dealership will only refund 90% if I return them. I'll probably just keep them stored somewhere.

'07 CLK550
I painted mine and a gal's c320. both came out great. i prefer putting about 3-4 coats of brush on paint. the color is more vivid than the spray of the same brand/color. it took about 4 hours to do my car and about 3 hours the second time when i did her car. better to do this in 70+deg f than cooler. when i did mine, i had to use a heat gun to start it to set. the brush on paint should be dry in about 1.5 hours after the last coat is put on, but i went directly to the heat gun for about 5 min ea and replaced the wheels. no prob. black mb decals set it off!

Could anyone post a link from ebay for Akebono brake pads? I need new ones and I don't know what I'm looking for. Thanks.

Where I got mine...very cheap but remember you may need to replace your sensors...which are not the akebono ones as those don't fit...must get the sensors from Mercedes...
