I formerly owned a 1988 300E and sold it with 150,000 miles. This vehicle was incredible and changed the way that I look at automobiles forever. I honestly believe that the 124 chassis Mercedes-Benz was one of the very best cars ever built. The rear brakes would simply scream if you used anything other than original brake pads.
Owner reviews for brake pads
I could get some EBC Greenstuff rear pads for a mere $49.
If everything bolted together like it should, the brakes would be great although you might need wheel spacers for the stock wheels as the caliper bodies portude slightly.
I got those JURID and will have them installed in the same time as my suspension. Someone told me on the brakes forum that JURID makes pads for Porsches, so I don't think I can go wrong with that.
I am running EBC Greenstuff, with almost no dust compared to stock pads.
EBC Green stuff all the way baby. Anyway, they are great, no dust unless you leave your car unwashed for 3 months.
Mintex Redbox pads are less dusty than most. Many people here prefer them.
I would recommend going with Mintex Redbox brakepads for your car because they produce significantly less brakedust than the VW brand pads from the dealership, and cost less!!
Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
The Mintex pads produce very little dust, but thier performance is little better than stock.
