OEM Brake Pads?
Going to be buying new pads/rotors soon.
Sorry I'm new to this forum and haven't seen this topic..what do you guys recommend for brake pads?
I see that OEM front pads for an 05 SL55 are $200 per wheel. Are these what you guys recommend, or are there other non oem versions that perform just as well for less..or maybe put out less brake dust..etc..
I plan on using OEM rotors unless you guys recommend something else.
(fwiw evosport is a little outta my price range...nice brakes tho..)

EBC makes carbon kevlar pads for SL. I ordered them from www.discountbrakes.com and they were out of stock. Front and rear pads cost around 350 for both sets. I think it is pretty good deal.
Get some stainless(evosport) brake lines and super blue fluids with these pads. I am sure it is going to make big difference.
