E350 Rear Rotors & Pads Recommendation
New to me 2011 E350 4Matic wagon with sport package and rear pads are 4-3 mm, vehicle has 65k miles and plan on replacing rear rotors and pads. I've had good luck with Centric setups on other vehicles and was looking for input from the group for which setup is preferred, OE or some aftermarket.

Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads are well regarded, do a search and you'll find lots of info.
I went close to the Centric route (R1 Concepts) and have had no issues since installation, I also rebuilt the calipers and flushed the fluid.

Holy sh*t!!! I don't want to tell you what the OEMs cost but it sure isn't anywhere close to $1400. Anyway..if you're happy thats all that matters.

I went with R1 Concepts and a little under $500 including shipping for the following. Used them based on previous vehicle use (2011 Honda Accord) and they worked on that pretty good.
All items Front/Rear Left/Right Unless noted.. All four corners in modern day language.
Slotted Rotors: I ordered the E-Line series but with delay due to not in stock I was given a FREE UPGRADE to the Carbon Geomet Series. The only difference is that the Geomet series protective coating is zinc instead of black.
Ceramic Pads E series
Front and Rear Hardware replacement kit, shims, slide pins, brackets etc...
Brake Pad wear sensors. I thought I ordered four but received eight. Is there one per wheel or Two? (as in Inboard/Outboard)

Hi All,
If you think $1400 is expensive for front AND rear brakes - my MB Service Advisor at the last service quoted AU$1069 just for the rears (about US$1350). I said I would wait until the service indicator flashed up a warning. ECS have a genuine MB rotor, pad & wear sensor kit for about US$200 so I plan on doing my own servicing in future
