Thanks
FWIW, the stock pads have better bite and less fade than ALL of the low dust after-market pads. You'll notice the difference the most on wet or snowy roads....and also if you take your car to the track. But for most folks, the low-dust pads are fine since these are cars that are not usually driven too hard.

Just because it’s written on the internet means it must be true, right?
Don’t agree here. Maybe it was a different aftermarket pad that others. My dust free pads work as well as the stock pads did. Best upgrade I ever did. No dust.

What pads did you used?
What type of pads and rotors did you use and how long have they been on your car and is your car a AMG sport pk and what line do you drive in on the highway and do you use sport suspension setting and do you use the S Mode The reason why I ask is a lot of S class drivers driver in the right lane I’m always in the left I drive my S550 like the German intended so when i asked all this? I’m just trying to see what’s best for my driving style I like to drive fast and broke harder so dust free is nice but will they stop better under pressure Or the heat I’m more concern with how the front end of my car looks on the rims
