Dustless pads, which ones are you using?
I would like to get a set of dustless pads before my new wheels come in, I was using axxis ones on my S600 and they were perfect. Can someone please post up a link for ones that will work with my 06 CLS55. Or recommend a set. Thanks a lot.

I'm using Porterfield's and they are great. Then again...my wheel are black. I know they work cause my wheels stay black. If they dusted, they would turn brown on the wheel.

I've never liked EBC stuff much. Used Reds on previous cars and both felt like they had less friction than stock. Others on forums agreed. Also a pair of Ultimax rotors CRACKED on me. Reported it too company since it was under warranty thinking they'd be embarrased, appologetic and that I'd get another pair easily. tried a total BS reason to get out of replacement. Escalated to CEO of company and 2000+ words of emails back and forth and I finally got a replacement. Also, their equipment is very frequently counterfeited. Very hard to tell if you're getting legit merch. I always avoid EBC now!!

I can tell you I will try the Akebonos next time. This time I used the EBC reds and they squealed for the first 1000 miles...now they only squeal in hot weather and frequent use. MUCH less brake dust for sure though.

I second that. I tried EBC reds on my Viper and they were terrible. Yes you get significantly less dust but you also lose braking power. Took them off after 2000 miles.
