Brake Pads, help needed
I am needing to get new brake pads and someone told me to get the poterfield rs-4. I went to O'rielly's and PepBoys and the don't offer anything for our cars. Does anyone know where to get these pads for our cars at a reasonable price? I am leaning towards these pads cause they are a direct replacement for the factory ones. Also I've been told they make low dust which is the main reason I want them. Does anyone know of other pads and where to get them that will work with factory calapers and disc and make low dust*?
Thanks!
Thanks!

EBC Reds- I couldn't be happier. Ceramic, almost no dust, very quiet and priced right.

Was worried for a while, but they are quiet now and MUCH less brake dust.

EBC claims the performance in stopping is slightly better than stock also. Do you guys notice any difference that have the EBC reds? I am also up for new brakes soon and looking to get the EBC reds.

There's definitely less dust then stock...for sure. As for biting, I would call it pretty close favoring the EBC's...need to justify my purchase
. Seriously, not dealing with the brake dust is well worth the money alone. Hopes this helps.

It could also SEEM better since you are replacing worn pads with new pads.
From what I have learned, the Pagid pads that come with the AMGs stock are very good at stopping power...but horrid on dust.

You can get them here, but they don't appear to be cheap!

how much for you to come up and put them on?
I cant stand the brake dust from the stock pads. After 1 day of driving, I can already see a coat of dust.

I just did Akebono pads and I'm VERY happy with them.
NO brake dust and braking is a good as OEM.
1 of Akebono EUR984 Rear Ceramic Pads, $125.00*
1 of Akebono EUR983 Front Ceramic Pads, $133.26*

As good as OEM? I'm confused and I guess sticking with my Porterfields. They have WAAAYYY more bite than the OEM ones and don't hold nearly the heat. I can't believe you guys had me about to buy some EBCs thinking performance when all you care about is dust!!

I can't speak to brake dust and noise, though because I don't notice them.
