Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Mercedes

i'm using hawk pads (on my second set) currently, but might try the reds on my next swap out.

I put these on my Corrado along with the big rotors from ECS and Hawk HPS pads. They really stop good!

Mercedes has always had great brakes but until the 190E you didn't have many cheap upgrade options. I have E420 brakes on my 190E Sportline, and my god the stopping power is exceptional.

They also come with Hawk pads that should be fine for street use.

Blank rotors from tasca and hawk hps 5.0 pads. Feels and preforms great.

Hawk HPS... Had them on my Mk5 GTI with ATE Power Slot rotors. I used hell out of that setup at the N\u00fcrburgring and on the Autobahn.

Hawk HPS - not too expensive, great pads and they last forever with minimal dust. I am a fan

I am running Hawk HPS and the intial bite is awesome(eyeballs hit the windshield) even when cold, much better then HP+ that I had before.

I have hawk HPS on mine. Dust wise they arent too bad. But I wouldnt mind something cleaner. They do the same thing and hang over the inner edge a bit.

I would stay away from Hawk pads. I've never had good luck with them... terrible feel when cold, poor lifespan and even had two sets start chunking and coming off backing plate.
