I cannot deal with a company that can’t supply pads for all four wheels on my car.
I imagine the promised dust reduction would go really well with your new shiny wheels...

Google Power Stop brake pads.

Just went to their website and used their selection system. They show NO pads available for a 2019 SL450 or 550. I sent them an email asking for assistance. We will see what happens. Thanks!

Sorry, didn't realize you had a 2019. They do have pads for some of the previous years. Lots of Corvette owners with dust switched to Power Stop pads and were very pleased. Good luck.
