2020 E63S Brake Pads
Has anybody found a lower dust alternative for the steel brakes? I had some on my 2014 E63S and they helped a ton....can't seem to find any for my new ride (new to me 2020 E63S). TIA, Tim

Yes - Porterfield R4S. I did this on my 19, and have seen a noticeable improvement in brake dust.

You can make the switch to R4 track pads without rebedding in about 15 minutes per corner as well.

I have a set from www.zeckhausen.com... and indeed they are much less making dust but... the dust that they do produce is sorta hard to get off of my black wheels (but much better than stock) and they have started to squeak a bit coming to a stop. When i switch to my winter setup I will probably try to lubricate the calipers and see if that helps. But all in all I like them and haven't really noticed any real negative attributes over OEM. Cheers.
The squeaking is normal and occurs with OE pads as well. Part of having a fixed caliper/semi floating rotor with large swept area up front

Thanks for the info. Porterfield's website does not show applications for 2020 models. I assume the calipers are the same as 2018-2019, but am not certain. Can anybody confirm?

Would you say that the E63 produces more break-dust than other cars, or is it related to how it´s driven?
With my current car break-dust isn´t an issue (but I do hate break-dust aswell). If I drive the merc the same way as my current car, will it produce more dust you think?
I have an E63s 2021 on order, I can still change the spec, go for ccb, but since I´m not going to track the car and mostly drive it with my family on board - hard breaking is usually out of the question if it can be avoided :-)

My 2013 C63 AMG brakes produced a lot of break dust and would squeak too. I found that by getting to maybe 60 mph and then really breaking hard the squeaking would stop for maybe 1k miles and then I'd have to repeat this exercise.

2021 E63s Wagon
I´ve added CCBs to my order now. Everyone keep saying it´s a very nice feature. I figure my next car will be an electric so maybe last chance to try them out. So my comfort oriented E63s will have ccb:s (plus my wife will never find out)...
