I really want very minimal brake dust as I am getting pretty annoyed with the dirt on my wheels. Power washed and waxed my truck the other day and no more than half a day of driving my wheels are brown again.
I saw a big difference on brake dust being minimal. As in I hardly notice them after a few weeks of no washing.

When I apply with the oem brakes I use to feel soft spots like its not a consistent pressure. With these it feels consistent and my confidence with them has increased.

Hi izzy! Do you have an update on pedal feel, dust, stopping power? I cant take the brake dirt anymore, its killing me and I am wasting my microfiber clothes trying to clean the brake dirt off. I am ready to make a purchase and the R1 price is unbeatable. -- Thanks!

I still have nothing negative to say. The car’s pedal feel continues to feel solid. Stops as expected with no brake noise. And the best part is I have not wash my car for 3 weeks now due to the rain being on and off here in socal and my wheels shine still comes through. It does not look brown muddy like before.

Any update for people with the 63 instead of the 43? R1 does not have rear pads in either the OEp or ceramic and really want to swap to something low dust ASAP.

~ check with www.brakeworld.com they seem to have the best selection for the difficult to find applications.

Make sure you understand Brakeworld's warranty before you purchase brakes from them. I bought ceramics from then and the one's I received performed poorly as you can see in this thread, and started squeaking loudly whenever I stepped on the brakes.

They would not do anything to remedy the situation.

remove the brake pads from the calipers and put lube on the areas on the back and side of the pads that come in contact with the calipers

I just installed the R1concepts ceramic pads on my GLC43. Don't know yet if they're less dusty.

from r1 concepts. No more brake dust and I really feel they work better, more consistent braking feel!

I put a set of Italia ceramics from Brakeworld on my GLC 63 3 months ago, The reduction in brake dust is amazing. Just gone. No change in performance.

Finally got mine too !
I didn't open the boxes yet but did you have to change the brake pad sensor ?
I am going to do the front first since no tools to push the piston back are needed .
I need to understand how the rear needs to be done before taking everything off .
Any good video recommended ?
Thanks
