Installing Ceramic Brake Pads
I've had it with break pad dust and want to install ceramic pads. My last MB was a 92 300E. Pads on that were a snap to replace. Is replacing the pads on my 2004 E320 a DIY project or is it best to take it to my indy shop? Which are the best ceramics on the market and where do I get them?

It's an easy DIY. The best "No Dust" pads IMO are Akebono. I bought mine at tirerack, but there are a few places you could purchase them. They make a big difference, here ia a pic of my front wheel with my new Brembos and my rear wheels with the Akebonos. This is one week of driving.

Follow the diy
You have SBC and need to be sure it is deactivated and doors remain closed during brake job.
Be careful.
