SL600 Cross Drilled and Ceramic Pads?
My father is looking to get some cross-drilled rotors and ceramic pads for his sl600. Does anyone have any experience with diskItalia rotors and ceramic pads? Any recommendations or advice for rotors and/or pads?
Thanks Pete

I have PBR Ceramics on my SL500 but no cross drilled rotors. I love the pads, firmer pedal feel, 80% less dust, better stopping power (feel).

I have them on my C43 - https://mbworld.org/forums/c36-amg-c43-amg-w202/151413-c43-powdercoated-calipers.html . They came with the car when I bought it so I cannot tell you if they are better than the stock ones.
