Tired of all the brake dust. Anyone know of any aftermarket ceramic pads available? Or any other type with much less dust.

Shortly after taking delivery of a new S550C, I installed ceramic pads on all four wheels. At the time the following were available: Front, Centric #105.17820 $59.34, both wheels. Rear, Powerstop #16-1689, $31.47, both wheels. Virtually dust-free and no noise. Installation is easy, just remember to go into the workshop menu and choose the replace pads option to release the parking brake before installing. I got them online from brakewarehouse.com. Renee 1-888-344-4949. It's been several years now so I don't know whether they are still available, but you can check.

Thanks. I'm looking but unable to find them thus far. RockAuto carries a large selection of Centric pads but no such number now. I'll keep looking.

Did you try making contact with Renee, she's pretty good at finding stuff.
