Best price for oem rotors and pads for SL600/SL55?
Where can I find the best price for rotors and pads for my SL600? Should I go with different pads than stock? I don't want to deal with a lot of dust, but wouldn't mind something slightly more aggressive. Thanks

I just put new pads on my SL55 with the 030 brakes and went with Akebono pads. They cost me about $130 from Rock Auto and the best part is they hardly dust at all. So much better than the stock pads or the Textars I've had in the past.

Very happy with the dustless Akebonos. So much so, I put them on all 3 cars...

Rotors, I'd go with OEM 100 times out of 100. www.autohausaz.com is where I got my rotors from, I think.

Yes, they are OEM. Purchased them from mymercedesparts.com. They're a dealership in South Atlanta. They are the cheapest when you include shipping cost.
