S550 Brakes & Rotors
Read a lot about Akebono ceramic pads and rotors, set of 4 on Amazon $474 includes 2 vented rotors and two unvented. Callahan set is $286 Any thoughts?
Also is there a wear sensor on each wheel or just one for front and one for back?

Rotors are rotors. I think I used Zimmerman on the front and some other major brand on the rears. The Akebono pads are no joke, though. They have been the END of black brake dust on my car.
That said, the PowerStop pads I just put on my pickup are also ceramic and also make no discernible brake dust. It’s SO nice not to have to look at black dust everywhere.

Only one wear sensor/axle.
