E500 4Matic, front brakepad size
I have a 2010mod W212 E500 (E550) 4Matic.
I have to change the brake pads in front. Original pads are very expensive in Norway, so I'm looking for other reputable brands. Any suggestion?
I also see that the different brands have indicated different sizes of the pads.
I have been told that the part# A007 420 49 20
Does anyone know the size of the original pads?.
Thickness, width, length? Size in mm please.
I hoped I could buy new pads before I removed the old ones
Thank you.

Can't help you with the physical sizes as most brake pads are nomenclatured with a part number only. There are many choices from US suppliers but I'm not sure if international shipping charges would make them economical or not.
The part number that you are using appears to be the latest iteration, see attachments. (Note: Many of us prefer Akebono pads for less dust)
Anyway, good luck,
Bob

Mercy-me,
Thanks for quick answer. I have checked a lot of choiches on Ebay. The measurements(length x height x thickness) goes from 141.7 x 79.9 x 17,3 on Bosch and TWR, to 141.4 x 79.8 x17,2 on Mintex and Brembo. All measurements are in mm, and .03 mm is not much
The difference is so small that I don't think it matters. I think the most important thing is that the distance between the pin holes is correct, and the pads can stop a heavy car with a large engine.
BTW, a set originale brakepads cost US$305,00 in Norway.
Thank you
