Brake pad choice
Its about time my front pads are changed now.
Can anyone suggest any options for pads other than the factory Mercedes ones?
I don't like the amount of brake dust which accumulates on my rims with the stock equipment.
I would assume that dustless pads would be a much harder material, would that affect the braking performance or the cooling of the pads in anyway?
cheers

I believe cold braking performance will be reduced for all of these pads, but since you live in Sydney, it probably won't make too much of a difference.
