brake job help
I live in Ontario Canada have a 2003 ml350 since new and it is time for another brake job (rotors and pads). Autopartsway.com sells various rotor and pads as well as sensors. 1) What is the best combo for my car so that I do not get Squeal. I am not a performance driver but I like safety 2) On non-oem pads which pads have provisions for wear sensors. The telereps at autopartsway don't know which way is up 3) In the worst case that I cannot install the wear sensor will the light stay on . 4)Are there better places to order from. Price is important but I balance that against quality. Ps I am in awe as to the dealer pricing in Ontario for a brake job. These dealers are detached from reality.
Thanks Ladies and Gentleman

Why would you not want to install a wear sensor? Without any warning you will have to buy new rotors..........again.
Pagid makes the original brakes for Merc. Akebono and ATE for the pads and ATE or Zimmerman coated rotors.

My Akebono pads accommodate wear sensors.
FYI--someone suggested stock pads which are fine performing pads BUT they have brake dust . The Ake ceramic pads are virtually free of brake dust---- i like that a lot!!!!
