Brake pads DIXCEL or OEM Mercedes

personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO

Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. Nothing particularly bad but having a German for it's age, essentially a supercar, and close to 200,000km when I sold it, quite a few bits and pieces needed replacing. Mechanically the best car I ever owned though. Just hoses, sensors, bushes, brake disc's and pads that kind of thing.

These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).

For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.

On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear

Upgraded rotors (paragon 2 piece) and dixcel type z pads.

In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors

I don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.

Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.

We had an W211 and it was awesome, except of course for the whole brake recall fiasco. Thankfully Mercedes eventually sorted that.

Just changed brake pads on the S65. Discovered an oil leak, likely from a turbo line.
