My US spec S550 upgraded with Euro spec S600 Brakes
Just kidding
and knowing how much the package actually weighs and what fedex actually charged me, it is not likely that we will ever send another set of brakes for that price to the US...unless we can combine 2 or 3 sets of brakes shipped to 1 address.

Revised brake pads will be installed along with brake paste applied to backing plates and corresponding mating surfaces within the brake caliper.
If repair is done in conjunction with other brake service, the parts can be claimed to warranty: Brake pads front, part # A004 420 80 20 (entered production as of 12/9/05), Brake pads rear, part # A000 423 02 30.
I had this Bulletin done within the 1st year I had my car, and it was covered under warranty, not sure if they will still do this past 1 year. I think it depends on your Service Advisor.
There is one thing though, what is the minimum wheel diameter for S600 brakes? I sold my 19" and bought 17" for the sake of comfort and non-flashiness.

One can only wonder why Mercedes uses fixed Calipers (push on both sides of Rotor) on their performance cars, and Twin Sliding (push on one side) on their Luxo barges..
When I do need to get pads, I will hopefully just need SL63 components.
