Best Brake Rotors and Pads

Hey everyone! Just wanted to get a feel from the group on the best pads and rotors to order for our CLS' off of ebay.

When I had my M45, there was a set from Brakemotive that were awesome quality wise for a considerable amount less than the stock ones that everyone on that forum recommended. I ordered them anytime I needed a set and saved a few bucks in the process.

Is there something similar for our cars(mine is a '12 4Matic)? What are some good ones?

Thanks!

Can anyone else provide any experiences they've had with any non OEM brake pads and if they'd recommend anything in particular?

I always feel, when it comes to the pads, the non-OEM ones are typically better. If I'm wrong here, I'll gladly admit it.

Thanks in advance.

I have disc italia brake pads on both my CLS and G-wagon. Don't know if the performance is better (feels the same as OEM to me), but a lot less brake dust
