Brake pads ATE or Bosch

I know funds are low, but get a quality pad. I prefer Bosch Quiet-cast. Long lasting, no squeak/noise/vibration.

I just did mine at 60k I bought Bosch and they’ve been great.

Mymotorworld has Bosch front and backs at around £45 for pads they also have textar a good brand for a little more. I wouldn’t bother with the other cheap pads given the acceleration you can get with the car.

I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.

I installed the Bosch ceramic pads on a Hyundai Sonata, no issues with it

I used the Bosch Quietcast from Rock Auto. Works great for me as a daily and there is minimal brake dust.

After replacing the brakes with Bosch and tires with Michelin CrossClimate, over 30k miles later and brakes have at least another 50-60k life left, and tires too, since they have 80k miles warranty.

We use ATE here in Germany. Rear brake pads will probably require a diagnostic device to disengage the electrical parking brake.

Sounds like way too much for a basic A200. For a dealership I guess it's normal but you can get equal quality ATE brakes for much less than the original Mercedes parts.

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.
