Rear Brake Pad Choices for 300E

It should be the same as your front pad for best performance.

Pagid should be avoided if you hate dust.

PBR (except ceramic) is good and not dusty.

Akebono is good and no dust.

Textar and TRW is OEM grade and shouldn't be dusty at all.

So then Mercedes don't make things equally. My rear pad is much smaller than the front pad.

Physically they are not the same size.

You mean to replace at the same time? Well, that's understandable. We got communication problem.

Dear Greg:

To Quote someone who said it so well.........

"Grow up. Stop using the lookalike fake nyms. Show some spine by posting under yer own banner, or stop wasting bandwidth (and everyone's time) with this sophomoric, chickenshit, cross-posting, pseudo-oppositional trash.

Apparently, no one of any recognizable gender wants anything to do with you. Hence this endless, weak-ass, ridiculous, basement- sockazoid game. Trust me, this is not the way to ameliorate that situation.

Repeat -- Grow up. Be cool. Talk sense.

And you'll have it made. "

Well, duh! That's so they wear out at the same time.

I don't know if you guys are just trolling or what, but Tiger was saying that the same BRAND of brake pad (front and back) will give the best results. Whether they are replaced at the same time is up to you, and of course they are different sizes. I'm pretty sure that PBR and Akebono sell front and rear pads for your car. Look at what you have on the front, get that brand. Otherwise, get a good quality pad and you'll be fine.

Exactly. If the rear pads were the same size it would be reasonable to assume the the fronts would wear out much sooner since the load on the front is greater.

textar is good
