I got new rotors and pads all around last Friday. I went with OEM rotors and the Rado pads. All the parts cost me 3k and the labor was $400. The brake pads perform well, no squeaking and they have really cut down the brake dust as advertised
Newly installed rotor and pads last Friday after a thorough cleaning.
Had the Rado dust free ( less dust ) pads on my old E63s and loved them. They feel like it has more bite than the OEM pads and definitely less break dust.
To the OP. Be sure to check with Craig@ World Motosport that you have the updated Rado pads, because the Rado pads I initially got was i guess not the final production pads and the pads would actually move around within the calipers and when backing up, it would make clicking noises.

I had 80k on the original set of rotors so this was the first time replacing. I put a set of OEM pads on at 56k miles and the rotors were very close to the minimum and they were done at 80k. Loving the Rado pads so far, the bite is good and brake dust has been reduced significantly. As far as the wear goes, that is TBD. I ordered the Rado pads off the website using same link S63AMG888 provided.

That's good to hear.
I've gotten a couple of questions about the brakes on my '14 that I am selling. I have 31K miles, and there's plenty of service life in the brake components. Seems like there might be an irrational concern about the brakes on the E63s. 56K on the original pads is fantastic life.
