I think I'll do the same, Brembo rotors and Non Asbestos Organic pads, I'm doing the 13 for the first time at 48K miles which will be before this winter.

Do you also have shimmy steering while braking at high speeds. Mine is about 60-80mph.
Or just replacing worn out ones?

Please update how it works out for you.

Little update , got the brembo rotors in today , and weighted them.. they are 27.5lbs... funny thing is that the ones i bought not so long ago were 28.2 or 28.5 dont remember correctly.
i understand they are High carbon , so maybe thats why they lighter.

Make sure you pick the red pads.

Just replacing, I have not had issues with Benz brakes since my 93 500S, I warped the back rotors 3-4 times, my wife drove it for the first 9 years we had it, then I took it on the road as I was the VP of sales for an Environmental Services company, She put 46k miles on it in 9 years and I put the next 64k miles on it in 2 1/2 years. Two sets of rear calipers as well. I finally got tired of the shake. I had already bought the wife a 2002 E320, so I took that and got her a 2003 S500.

So finally got the parts in
brembo rotors High carbon + brembo NAO brake pads
and
All is good.. braking is smooth , car is making me happy again.

Just like a russian proverb says
a stingy one pays double lol

Never go cheap on rotors and pads.

Will update if needed.
thanks to all people who helped me out.




Difference in weight between brembo and some unbranded. Brembo is lighter.
