Are you sure this is the same set up we are talking about. From the pictures I have questions below:
1. It seems the rotor already has substantial wear on it.
2. Is this for front rotor, if so can you take a measurement of the pad swiping width so I can check against the OE pad I posted. As with what Randy confirmed - the pad top edge lines up with the rotor edge, therefore the top part of rotor should not be contacted, but it's not what your pictures show.

Warren these pics are all correct. Remember the factory pad is very soft and wears very fast. The angled edge on the top of the factory pad was nearly gone on the last SL we did and it only had 480 miles on it.

MBWorld Fanatic!
In the less than a month that I have now had my SL550 with AMG package it is obvious that the brake dust with the OEM pads is going to drive me crazy. Are there any alternatives that dust less and provide mostly squeak free stops?
I had Racing brake ET500 pads on my BMW and they fit the bill well on that, but they don't show any pads for the SL.
Thanks.

I am sorry for you all squeak-victims !! I am another one too!!
I installed on perfect discs new pads: they keep squeaking,
tried ALL ways to fix, dismounted three times!
at he end I realize it is due to the material of the pads.
I can only say: avoid SIMER and XPAD brand pads like hell !!!!!!!
(tags: simer, xpad, brake pads, squeak)

I have a 2013 sl550 and live in orange county. The dust is a massive issue and would be willing to help out or volunteer my car for it if needed still
