2011 GL350
Brake Replacement time
Hello All
I need to replace my brakes on my 2011 GL350 was thinking of using the Power Stop Kit K6706

But was looking for feedback I see alot of people have posted about the Akebono pads from RockAuto.

Any feedback on any other rotors or pads? I like some low dusting with improved performance with out sacrificing initial bite.
Thanks in advance

I replaced front brakes (pads and rotors) with Bosch QuietCast. I have driven about 3k miles and they seem pretty good. You can buy them from eeuroparts.com for a little over $200.

Typically with ceramic you give up some initial bite but you don't have visible dust.

Ceramic are great. I like my EBC Redstuff.

Try Ebay. People sell extras.

Did you pay MB prices for the rotors?!?

Looks like the OEx are low-cost ceramic pads. Check back in and let us know how the pads and rotors hold up.
