03 E500 Brake Job

Can anyone direct me to any web link or info on changing front and rear brake pads on an 03 E500. I understand there's some specific things to do with SBC. I do know not to do it until I do whatever it is to the SBC system. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I only use Akebono brake pads... these are the best and I will not recommend anything else... even factory pads. I buy my Akebono pads from Rockauto.com

As for the SBC system, my friend with 2004 CL500 did his brake job and he said nothing was special... he changed it just as a normal car brake system. Be absolutely sure to keep key out of the ignition and everything off. Leave car unlocked, window down... don't just unlock... the car will lock again unless you opened the door and closed it again.

I currently have EBC Green pads on the car and I'm very satisfied with them for the lack of dust and stopping capabilities. I'm most interested in the low/no dust variety of pads. Can you tell me about the dust or no dust characteristics of the Akebono pads? Thanks.

Absolutely no dust... great stopping power. I am pretty sure it far exceed the EBC Green pads. Ceramic pads does not eat the rotors into abnormal shapes.
