Adaptive One Ceramic Brake Pads
I just installed these brake pads on my ML320....bought them from my local NAPA store...very quiet...so far so good...Im hoping for very little brake dust.
I also installed new cross-drilled rotors too....since the stock rotors were pretty much shot.
Anyone else installed these brake pads?

where did you get the cross drilled?
I tried the ebay cross drilled rotors. looked great but They absolutely sux big. the slots make sound when the slap against the pad. Worst of all. I found braking power deminished as it feel like it will heat up easy. Not safe at all. it may be ok for lighter imports but not for this heavy beast.
I changed it out with OEM spec solid rotors by Meyle. Plantium series rotors.. 100% better braking. I also used AKEBONO Euro Pads.. almost no dust.

i got the cross-drilled rotors on ebay....no slots....I asked seller specifically for NO SLOTS!!!
So far...so good....no complaints with only cross-drilled rotors and these Adapative One Ceramic Pads...which btw...came with new pad sensors.

2002 E-320s 4Matic Wagon
ADO Brakes on a 2002 E 320 S 4 Matic Wagon
A local repair shop just installed these on the front of my 2002 E-320 4 Matic wagon. I questioned this as the local Napa dealers are telling me that they do not sell a pad designed for this particular vehicle especially the 4 Matic. Does anyone have any information on this. Thanks
