E320 Brake Pads Group: alt.auto.mercedes Date: Fri, Aug 8, 2003, 2:18am (PDT+7) From: email snipped-for-privacy@in.message.ae1m (Bob) Ok, I just got a nice set of AMG rims with tires for the 2000 E320 and now want to replace the very dusty MB pads. Who can reccomend a good brand quality brake pads. This is a daily driver, not used for anything more high performance than back and forth to work. I just hate the black dusty MB OEM pads. Bob

********************************************* The more 'metallic' pads (read less dust) wear out your discs faster, so take your choice, OEMs and longer disc life, smoother stopping and more dust, or the 'MetalMasters' types, less dust, longer pad life, but shorter disc life. MB's are specifically designed to mate pads with discs (you don't want to mess with mother nature, do you?) hence the recommendation for the OEMs. Check out

and see how many pads are made for your MB. They all dust anyways! Ciao!
