Question: Gle53 front brakes replacement pads
Did anyone have any luck with different brake pads for the front??
i cant stand the dust on the wheels after couple days of driving.
Coming from bmw x5m and they had same problem but was able to get other pads and the problem was gone.
Any info on brand or model# would be appreciated
the car isnt driven hard and i know im gone lose some brake performance.

I, too, am looking for an alternative set of brake pads for my GL53 AMG Coupe because the dust is excessive. I had used Akebono on my previous GLE43 and was very happy with almost no dust and no noticeable difference in braking. I have checked Akebono's website, however, at the moment there is no product for the GLE53.
As the OP asked, are there any recommendations?

If you find reviews of brake pads that are changed without changing the disc itself, I hope you share.

It's interesting about your BMW, different pads change the dusting. In my experience, the dust was more iron from the discs, then from the brake pads. It's been a couple of decades, but back then BMW discs would need replacement before the pads!

i think i used trackhawk brad “ i think thats the name” and they where great dust was almost gun and braking power was enough for steet driving
but i think on Mercedes the dust is worse then bmw and i cant take it
if i find anything i will share
