Low dust/No dust pads for E55?
Does anyone know of a manufacturer that makes low dust pads for our cars? I understand Porterfield does, has anyone any experience with them? If there are any others what has your experience been? Thanks!

The only company right now that has fabricated a backing plate for our pads is Porterfield. I run their R4 race pads which are both dusty and noisy, but they stop the car much better than the stock pads especially when hot. Porterfied can make you their street performance pad, the R4-S which may fit the bill for you. All other manufacturers would take a set of used backing plates you supply and put their compound on. I recommend Carbotech Panthers ceramic. Pagid may have a pad out for this car by now also as I know they were working on this as well. I got my pads through Jerry at formymercedes.com, he's a good guy.
