What brake pads are you running (non-ceramic option)

I'm struggling to find an afternarket brake pad option for an SL 55 without the ceramic option.

If anyone is running aftermarket pads please share the brand/part #/link

​​I would appreciate your thoughts on them as well.

Interested as well, the OEM pads are crazy-dusty . . . One drive and my wheels look horrible (I ceramic coated them as well), thanks!

Welp, I guess everyone just runs the MB pads. There don't seem to be a ton of name brand options. Just a bunch of no-name options I wouldn't trust. I was really hoping to find some Power Stop pads as they've been great on all my other MBs. Especially the ceramic pads. Virtually no dust, and never any noise.

Yeah AMG dust is brutal. They do stop like a **** though. If I had been the first owner I’d have specced the CCBs.
