The 190 E needs front brakes. (The girls are hard on equipment) (Description of the problem = "It sounds like it is Hungry")
Anyway, looks like I have the choice of: EBC pads and Brembo rotors from Tire Rack Or any combination of: (From Pelican/Driveworks) Rotors: ATE ATE Powerdisc Balo Pads: ATE MB Pagid Textar PBR Delux PBR Metal Master Quiet operation and decent life with OEM or better performace are the critera, low dust would be great as well. Any thoughts? |

It sounds hungry! That's pretty descriptive. Open your wallet and feed it a hand full of yuppie food stamps: it'll feel much better then.
I generally run Textar which is MB OEM. ATE is also OEM. Hmmm, rotors, I don't recall but always MB OEM. My wife gets around 20k out of a set of front pads. She always brakes late and we live in a pretty hilly area. Rotors last forever if you don't score them with wornout pads. The pads dust, it's the price for high performance braking...you could put some klean shields in if it really bugs you. The OEM brakes are always quiet for us, get the OEM MB brake pad grease (it's BLUE/GREEN in little ketchup packets). Don't forget the sensors ($1/each for the front only, needs four total). You might want to give my guy a call. He knows these cars inside out, has competitive prices and has never let me down: Randy Steele European Parts Specialists, Ltd. 5960 Mandarin Ave. Suite A-1 Goleta, CA 93117 805-683-4020 / 800-334-2749 FAX 805-683-3689 Email "randy@epsparts.com" "www.epsparts.com" Have fun, Kevin PS - There's another guy that's more in your neighborhood. He's had the opportunity to impress me repeatedly and failed each time. A lot of other people like him though so it could just be a personality conflict: Rusty Cullens 1-800-741-5252 or +1 (770) 452-7320, FAX: +1 (770) 454-9745 9 Dunwoody Park.
