Finally Dust-Free Brake Pads for my GLC43
I’ve finally gotten my sanity back thanks to www.brakeworld.com with ceramic dust-free pads front & rear.
Disc Italia / Hyper Ceramic (a seamless direct pad swap) - see boxes below for part numbers.
A true 90% reduction in the annoying brake dust.

Oh my god. Thank you thank you thank you. Man I had just washed my car on Saturday, Sunday I had to wipe down my wheels again. So freaking annoying.
Please chime in, about a week or two from now and let us know how everything is going regarding....stopping, dusting and performance. Thanks!!

I never had my OEM level stopping power with any low dust brake pads on my Jeep SRT.
Hopefully it is different with the GLC.

Thanks much for the info on this. My wheels get pretty dirty, but ceramic coating makes it easier to clean. Will look into these when time for new pads.
Is it easy to change the pads? Looks like you just remove those two pins, pull that metal piece out and slide new pads out/in...and I guess remove that sensor wire? Any grease added? I've done a lot of pad/rotor replacements, but none like this. Too lazy to search YouTube. Thanks!

Fyi... there may appear to be some moderate brake dust once the new pads are first installed but it’s the remaining dusty pad debris in the rotor drilled holes.
I suggest heading to a ‘do it yourself’ quarter car wash with a spray wand and rinse the rotor holes well to remove the old dusty brake pad material. Turn the wheels 180 degrees to access the area under the caliper as well. Then the dust free journey begins.
It also doesn’t hurt to clean, remove any tar and wax the inside of the rims when the wheels are off for the pad install. This is the perfectionist coming out in me.
Enjoy!

~ after about 750 miles... I can report I’m very happy with the reduction in brake dust, pedal feel and stopping power.
a true reduction of about 85-90% of the nasty black brake dust collecting on the wheels.
a must change for anyone who likes to keep things clean.
a necessity to me... aka mr clean.

Did you have the rotors cleaned before installing. If not a lot of brake dust residue builds up in the rotors holes and keeps coming out and makes it seem like they are no better

Here is another option. I switch to this https://www.r1concepts.com/details/i...ar+Optimum_OEp
from r1 concepts. No more brake dust and I really feel they work better, more consistent braking feel!

I've had my Optimum OE's now for 3 months now replacing both fronts and rears at the same time and to me these brakes are 3x better than originals as far as brake consistency goes. Dust is almost non-existent. I've not tried the ceramics and I'm sure they work well too. I wouldn't mind anyone trying them and letting us know how they are.

~ So far so good! I only have 1,900 miles on the vehicle (about 1,000 miles since install). I have ran these pads on many MB cars I’ve owned in the past and have gotten over 70,000 miles out of a set of these ceramic pads. Since they are made of a denser material (ceramic) they last much much longer thank any stock brake pad.

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.
