Anyone about to change brake pads on their SL55?
According to MB, SL55's have the same front brake pads as the 2003 E55. The rears on all SL55 and E55 cars are also the same. As far as I know, no one makes a high performance pad for the E55. If anyone knows of a perfomance pad that will definitely fit the SL55, please let me know. In the meantime, if I send a set of worn out pads to Porterfield or Carbotech, they can reproduce them in a race or high performance street compund which will significantly improve the brake functions.
The front pad is part # 003 420 5320 or 003 420 7120 (same pads with different numbers depending on date of production) and the rear is 003 420 6220.
If anybody is about to bring their car in for brake service, ask for the used pads and either send them to me or email me and I will tell you who to send them to at Porterfield or Carbotech. Everyone on this forum and the W211 E55 forum will potentially benefit.
Please repond to this thread if you're interested in upgrading to a full race pad or performance street pad.
