ML Rotor/Pads Replacements

My mom's ML430 is in need of new brakes. I was looking to get some Brembo's with EBC or OEM pads. What do you guys think? Any other suggestions? Do brembo's or anyone make quality crossed drilled or slotted rotors for the ML?

Also, do you guys have any place that I could get the Brembo rotors and any type of pads?


TIA

Thanks for the link. One thing that I might have a problem with. I was wondering if the direction of the slots and drills are the same for both the right and left? I don't know if it'll look weird with one of the sides with the slots going backwards or not. OR will brembo send me pairs with the right directions.

Also, what kind of pads are good? Are the rotex ones any good?

Hi, I am probably going to switch to the Brembos. Total cost of 4 rotors and 2 sets of pads is only $63 more than the dealership parts price. Not sure about the pads. I hope they are quieter and cleaner than the Porterfields I am using now.

I'm using the the Brembo Sport rotors with Axxis Ultimate pads...very low dust & with proper bedding no squealing...I did not notice any difference with the stopping distance. Anyone have a source for the SS brakelines??


Regards
Richard
