Front brakes and rotors suggestions

Hello All,

Thanks in advance for anyone that replies with comments! Looking to replace front brakes and rotors in a couple weeks and wondering if anyone has ever used these TRW pads:

Want something that doesn't create the additional brake dust!

These are the rotors on the same site:

Would like to consider the higher performance two piece rotors after reading on here about the longevity without warping, but maybe next time!

Thanks vich3 for the reply! One question tho, are you using those on a CLS550 or an E550? Checked the fitment on the site for CLS550 and not sure those will work.

Adi-Benz thank you for sharing some good info! So the calipers you installed are from an CLS550? Just looking to make sure to understand if the same part numbers for the pads and rotors would would on my 2012 CLS550.

Hello again! So is there no one else that can comment on the brackets and rotors or share a suggestion on what they went with and if they lasted on their C218?

I installed Centric Posi-Quiet pads on all 4 corners. My front rotors were good so, no change there.
I went with Zimmermann rotors on the rear. I recall the Zimmernann rotors for the front were tough to find.
Silent pads, very little dust and great stopping power.
