lots of cars
Autozone has pretty good pads..i've been using the cheap ones and to my surprise there isn't that much brake dust and no noise. You don't need super expensive pads for daily driving.

I've heard that turning MB rotors is a poor idea. I'd err on the side of caution and get new rotors. Even with my new rotors braking performance leaves much to be desired and I dont think re-machining old ones will help any.

Actually, I had another mechanic look at it, and the brake/rotor combination on my car is actually good. 80% on the front, and 100% on the rear. There is another problem entirely...

LoL Wulf, no--it was at a regular mechanic. That mechanic is good; it's just one of his assistant mechanics was trying to get me to buy rotors, but I firmly said NO.
