Okay, first the bad news:

DO NOT BUY EBC REDSTUFF # DP31487C for your S430, S500, S600 brakes. WHY, they DO NOT FIT as they are built for the S65 size brakes. I only bring this up as I LOVE my EBC redstuff on other cars and waited over two weeks for these pads to come in, only to find they DON'T FIT

Okay, the good news

Autozone stocks and has GOOD rotors for our toys that are cross drilled for only$99.95. YES boys and girls under $100 IN STOCK And they come with an unlimted 2 year warrenty.

I only state this for ease and quikness, as I received mine from Mr Brenton, thank you and would GLADLY buy from him again

Okay, carry on

PS: My wear sensors on the pad were worn out without a clue, but my electronic wear sensor still had a little life left, go figure

Pictures of the EBC pads please.. might want to take them off your hands my friend.

Also, what do the Autozone rotors look like?

m4xm1l10n

$99.95 for both ?

MRAMG1

They look GREAT, cross drilled and two year warrenty

Nope, 99.95 each, but come on, did you really think that they could do that for both

MB want almost 300 each

thanks for the tip Marty!!

LAWYER2

wow, thats great! Thanks for posting that. I would have never ever thought that AutoZone would have carried the parts. I need to replace my brakes and rotors. Do they have the pads as well?

MRAMG1

Yes they do, best pads they had were under $70.00. It really hurt me NOT to able to use the EBC's as they are the BEST all around pad that I have EVER used, IMHO.

Anyway, Autozone's pads bedded well, NO squeals, and stop MUCH better than my old originals. Overall first impressions of them, B+

I have a set of Akebono Euro ceramic pads and Meyle Platnium rotors in stock in my garage when I need to put them on.

Dont be fool by good looking rotors.. it is the materials that matters. I had a set of great looking crossdrilled rotors for my ML55. and they were god awful. Stopping power was considerably compromised. Switch those crap rotors out and got Meyle's . Now it stops much better.

MRAMG1

I agree my friend. However I really have had good results with Autozone products. MUCH better in fact than with Ford, Chysler, or GM's OEM crap

They are on wife's car, my work car, and the SRT fun ride. I will say, that on EVERYONE of the above, the results are positive my friends.

You know what they say: If something sounds too goog to be true, it probably is.

That is a very low price per rotor. We are anxious to see how they work on your car. Please keep us posted as you put more miles on the car.

what about EBC Greenstuff pads?

MRAMG1

Just say NO my friend. Go with the REDs.

1. They are ceramic, which means NO, okay a VERY little dust
2. They are track worthy, maybe not important, but it does mean they will take WHATEVER you throw at them
3. They grip like MAD

Enough said

MRAMG1

Two points of interest here my friend:

1. Just because you pay a very high price, does NOT imply top quality. Case in point MHP tunes
2. If you bothered to read my posts, I clearly stated I DO NOT HAVE AUTOZONE ROTORS ON MY CAR. I received mine from Mr Brenton, again THANKS RICK I simply stated there price as a GOOD option, IMHO.

Good info. I'm just about to install my new pads and rotors so I thought I would share what I got.

Meyle front rotors, cross drilled and coated from Euro Parts Direct both for $149 and free shipping. My rear rotors only needed to be turned.

Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads, front and rear for $100 with shipping from Discount Brakes.

I've used Meyle many times for my BMW but I've never heard of Centric brand pads. I figure since they were ceramic, low dust and made in the USA that they were worth a try.

I think I came out pretty good overall as far as price to quality. The only down side is the 4-5 day shipping.

m4xm1l10n

I get rotors which are as good quality if not better than OEM with free silver coating For $110 Shipped FOR TWO FRONTS , I Also have them Installed front and read on my S500 going on two years with no issues and no sign of rust and still performs like day 1 . $99.95 each is a rip off And i know about you get what you pay for , But not in my case $110 yes $110 and Excellent quality

I just order a set for my cousin , I'll be sure to post pics when i get them

MRAMG1

Hey, GREAT find my friend

I was very happy with $105 for MB parts from Mr. Brenton

And I thought that autozones price was good as well.

But your find, well

Thanks for the INFO

LAWYER2

wait a minute........so Autozone's rotor's are 99 EACH, and you guys are saying you're getting them for $105-110 a PAIR? Am I missing something here??

fkong777

meyle Platinum is $73 each for front. $38 each for rears.

m4xm1l10n

That's Right !!!




Thanks for the bow

m4xm1l10n

Bumb!!!!

Well here it is Free silver Zinc plate so it will look like that 5 years from now ( Mine does ), so installed it today on my cousin's car and WOW !!!

Cost me $110 SHIPPED and I have the rear ones drilled to mach

nachilus

Where did you get the rotors, i need a set for my S55?

2003 S600

who makes them. BTW red stuff fit on my s600, wore all the way thru, now I have yellow stuff-racing pads which stop on a dime. you may not think they fit b/c they are much deeper and go closer to hub of rotor. but that is more surface area to grab, why complain? stops great for me.

MRAMG1

No, I KNOW the ones that they sent me would not work, because they simply would not FIT in my caliper as they were too long as you stated. I would have LOVED to have more swept area, aka better heat disapation, but alas this was not the case. What part number were on your redstuff my friend?

By the way, I have tracked, drvien hard, and just about everything under the sun on redstuff and have NEVER had any faults from them

Yellow's as you know are a track pad which require heat to work. Not a very freindly wife situation unless she is aware of this and takes the proper precautions, IMHO. I would not have an issue with this, but my wife, well lets just say she does not always think first about driving

2003 S600

They were dp31487c just like yours, and now I have 41487 yellow stuff and they do work when cold as well as the reds did, I can stop on a dime and give you a nickel change. Maybe they gave you the wrong pads, mine fit right in the caliper although they go deeper toward the hub of the rotor which is fine. I don't know why they made them so much deeper than stock, maybe for better stopping power.
