Brake Pads,Rotors,need info Please.
So i'm curious what is going on with the Pads and Rotors for the W209 CLK55's.
I hear that on the 208's they would cost twice as much then on the 208?
What are some good Rotors and Pads to get for the 209?and the price,maybe the best place to get them from?
Thanx Guys!

I believe front pads are part number 0034205820, with a list of $92, and are $74 with the discount. Rear pads are part number 0044201620, with a list of $75, and are $60 with the discount.
The W208 CLK55 and W202 C43 have the expensive brakes. Front rotors are side specfic. Part number 2104211812 for the left, and 2104211912 on the right. List is $270, and $216 with the discount. Rear rotors are the same as the W209 CLK55.

W205/55 rotors have directional cooling vanes. W209/55 rotors have radial vanes. Directional vanes allow rotors to run much cooler than radial(straight) vanes. The problem is the cost. Directional vanes require left and right side rotors. Their increased production cost is why they cost so much. The payoff is the pads don't get cooked and the fluid doesn't boil DESPITE the fact that "der chap-meister" is late braking hard and heavy.

Shoot, I'm easy on my brakes. I just turned 40K miles and have 40-50% pad life left on the original pads. I think it was Autoweek that tested the 60-0 distance with the W208/55 and it was only 112 feet, tied with the Boxtster. I've always had tremendous confidence in the factory brake set up.

I have a 2003 CLK500 and need to replace the front pads and possibly rotors. What do I have to do for the SBC control to safely replace the pads. Also, has anyone used EBC pads and possibly upgraded to slotted or drilled rotors, any suggestions??
Thanks for your input.

I have the redstuff on my car and cant complain about it(less dust and quiet). They are designed for street-using and the yellow are race pads so I think the Reds are just fine for daily driving. U definitely need to buy the Anti Squeal Paste when u install them.
