My 2004 CLK320 Coupe now has 78K KM and I just did the 2nd Service-B in the dealership.

I was told that my brake pads were dwon to 40% so I will have to change them in the next few months. Should I stick with OEM?

I read that a good alternative is the Porterfield RS4? In what ways are they better than the stock ones? Better braking abiility? Last longer? Less brake dust?

Any other brands I should look at?
