New Front Brakes so they stop squeaking!
Hi All,
My 07 SL 550's brakes squeak like crazy and so I wanted to put on Akebono front pads reccomended to me by someone.
What do you all think?

Try Pagid
I recently replaced my rotors and pads due to squealing and used lots of Brake lube on the pins and brake quiet on the back of the pads (found at autozone) and that worked great. My rotors were slightly rough and so they were replaced too. Easy job, just unplug the brake control under the hood for safety reasons. I used Pagid pads and they work great.

I really like using Porterfield R4S pads. They stop well and make very little dust.
