Hi all,

I have a 2017 S63 sedan (no ccb) and like to daily drive it, however the factory pads are horrible for brake dust.
Looking for suggestions on a good brake pad for the fronts which have stopping power but wont make my front wheels brown/black in a week.

I looked into EBC Redstuff DP31939C, I also looked into Akebono as I had them in a previous car, however it appears they do not have an option for the S63.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you for the quick response superpop , however I am looking to see if anyone has had any luck with a brake pad that is super low dust.

That is why I posted these pads. I have them on my S63 and they produce zero dust and perform as well as the OEM ones.

Forgot to come back to this thread, but as an update for anyone looking in the future.... I put the Power Stop Z261291 on the fronts as recommended here.

They work great and almost no dust, however the brake pad warning sensor cable is too short for the pads. The cut out is on the opposite side. I suppose you can always tape the sensor away if don't need the wear warning.
This may be a 14-17 thing, and not an 18+?

Tie the pair of wires of the wear sensor to each other to mimic a happy healthy wear sensor that won’t light up in the cluster.

@superpop Fellow Seattlelite -- I saw on another thread you were doing your rotors too (with a screenshot) but you hadn't yet. Can you drop the product details for what you ultimately purchased and how it's working out with these pads? Trying to find rotors/pads for my '16 AMG coupe.

I have not done the rotors yet. I am still running the powerstops on the factory rotors. I have 20K miles on these pads though and they still have about half the pad material left. Pretty impressive.

That’s great for iron brakes.
