'11 SL550 No more brake squealing!

so I replaced my front pads with Racing Brake pads, http://www.racingbrake.com no more squealing

glad to finally resolve this, been to the dealer twice but they could not do anything for me except to "hard brake" from time to time to burn a film on them, but the squealing would come right back

highly recommend these pads

Any Brake Pad options


Latest testimonial:RacingBrake makes me happy

ET500 is our most popular "performance street" compounds (semi-metallic) that was carefully formulated to provide the following characteristics yet still under that squeaking threshold - This compound was voted as the best brake pad in Mitsubishi EVO community.
  • Good initial bite
