Brake Pads and Rotors

I have a 2013 S550 W221. During my recent service, it was recommended that I replace the front and rear brake pads and the front rotors. MB was charging an arm and a leg. I found a local shop that can do the job. How do I ensure that he replace it with quality parts? Any recommendations for quality pads and front rotors? Do I purchase the parts and just pay for the labor? I will hate to end up with some inferior pads and rotors. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

ATE and Brembo are usually good brake part brands for MB.
Perhaps someone knows the OE for our W221s?

Brembo, Pagid, Jurid, Textar, Ferodo, ATE, Zimmerman. Theyre all really interchangeable and I have used every single one of these weekly for the last 3 years. I'm partial to Brembo and Pagid.

You can find all this stuff on RockAuto. I do like the Powerstop Eurostop of brakes which is reboxed European OEM stuff.

The Brembo NAO ceramic + the rotors are great. Use pagid sensors, honestly the brand of sensor isn't that important. Rockauto is a great place to buy parts.
