I believe they're the same brakes. I don't see why they wouldn't be. S430 and S500 brakes look completely identical.

300E a couple 1994 w124wagon E320 Wagon/,1971MGB Track/Rally, MG Midget Autocross ,2000 E320 wagon.
UMMMM

NO the pads sweep the rotors. They are designed to cover an area of the rotor.
Why not leave them alone or maybe clean the calipers and paint them red.
Something safe like that
