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?

Ended up geting the Balo and Textar (yellow box)

They went on perfectly and perform well.

Big thing I don't get is that:

Driveworks has an online inventory system, it also tells the manufacturer of the part and offers several brands for each item.

I ordered on sunday and the order was checked in on sunday, it shipped on monday.

I have NEVER ordered Porsche parts from pelican and had an order checked in on sunday and shipped monday!!!

Why can't they perform this well for Porsche parts?????
