Does anyone have experience with non-OEM brake pads that keep the wheels cleaner than the OEM pads?

I used to own a Passat many years ago and switched to pads from Wagner(?) that produced a whole lot less black brake dust and kept the wheels so much cleaner.

M-B OE pads release alot of brake dust. More than several people have switched to Ceramic brake pads. Plese read http://www.mercedesshop.com/shopforu...5&postcount=18 and take a look at the following products for your car at http://www.benzworld.org/forums/r129...ml#post2434789

Axxis Ultima pads are essentially the best pads money can buy for the MBs, they are good for both street & track (not that many R129 owner will track). They are ebay for relatively expensive, and they don't dust much at all, they are carbon metallic pads and deal very well to high heat situations are do not fade nearly as much as stock pads.

Stainless steel brake lines would help out a ton as well (if they exist for R129). I recommend Stoptech (all the rest are junk)
