Where sells these brakes?

My wear sensor has kicked in and its saying time for new pads. I hate the amount of brake dust I get from the stock pads. I've been doing research on here as to what brands are the best for the dust issue.

My question is where can I get these pads for a 2011 S63?

Akebono Euro Ceramic
Porterfield's R4S

I've been using Porterfields.........Couldn't find the Akebono for my car. I've been happy with the Porterfield's.

Depends on the weather
I've been running Akebonos on every car I've owned. Range Rovers, BMW's and W221. You can't do wrong. I get mine from advanceautoparts. They always have the 40% off of 100.00 or better online coupons, so I buy them online and go pick up in the store.

Thanks, - Exactly what I wanted to hear. Getting ready to do the brakes on my 08 S63 and the OEM dust is just killing me. S63/CL63 brake pad options seem to be confined to OEM / Porterfield / and EBC. I plan on using Racing Brake rotors which do not recommend a ceramic pad, ruling EBC out. Good to hear the Porterfields work well.

Better pricing for the Porterfields and a sponsor on the forum. http://www.formymercedes.com/mb.asp

Also treat your wheels with Rejex. The dust that does stick comes right off with a hose.

I am not going to say what brakes I bought but I changed my brake pads and rotors for $279. ALL 4 I promise this when I say that they are just as good as the old brakes and 5 days have gone by since I washed the car and the brake dust is barley even there. I could not believe it.

Get Ceramic. Fck it I bought the ELine brake pads and rotors drilled. Everyone has their own opinion I know someone will bash me for putting them on my car but they look great and work great and damn it I am excited as F*** that I don't have to clean these damn wheels every 4 days when I busted my tail to clean them up.

I have used Eline before on different cars and have had good luck with them. OP was referring to S63 which uses a 8 piston dual caliper system. Only a select few have pad a offering for them.

That's whats driving me nuts!!! I wash my car every Friday and can never keep the wheels clean. The wheels always look like they are fully gunmetal by mid week.
