I've got my brake dusting problem solved.

I got a set of Rotex brake pads for my ML and after bedding them in according to the supplied instructions, there is no squealing and very little to almost no dusting.

does your car still stop??? i for one am not willing to sacrifice ANY stopping power for no brake dust, curious as to your opinions on the Rotex pads, thanks.

Stopping distances seem to be about the same and when the time comes, I will be getting them for my CLK too.

I don't have to do a twice a week washing of the wheels like I did with the OE pads.

The pads are described and sold by these two sites:

Rotex pads? HHmm never heard of them before. What kind of warranty do they offer and what is the material made of?

Kevlar metalic pad, sounds good, they don't mention warranty but it might be worth trying. but as I expected they are not available for the E55

Do the E55 pads cross reference to another vehicle???
