brake, and rotor

hello there
i think it is about time to change and brake pads and rotors on my 2001 ml 430. i'm thinking to go with the pagid brake pads and with the brembo rotors. what do you think and should i change the brake pads sensor too how i could know if they still good. one more thin i could see a diffrent sizes on the rotors
rear
331 mm in diameter : 14 mm thickness
331.0 in diameter : 12.3 thickness
front
345 diameter : 30.0 thickness
about $500 for everyting so what do u think about the brand and the price
let me know if you got some other thing than that
thank you all in advance

no experience with the zimmermann... but on my last replacement I did Pagid and Brembo and wasnt happy with it, my ML didnt brake as well as I was hoping it would. Also came down with the ML cursed brake squeal. Pretty awfull squeall.

I will be redoing my pads in a week or so using porterfield Pads...

Brake change.

I got everything you are looking for from these guys. http://www.autohausaz.com
They had the best prices when I did the search. Also, they have everything you need. Just make sure you get the sensors AND the anti squeek grease. Also, make sure you have the right tools to remove the hex bolt that keeps the rotor on. I didn't and stripped the crap out of one side.

I have the Brembo rotors and they seem to do just fine. Also, for the cost of the sensor, you might as well just change them. Also, I think for all 4, it was a little less than $500, about $475.

I have no affiliation with these guys.
