Brake pads JURID or OEM Mercedes

For pads I've used Jurid White successfully in the past, they produce a lot less dust than the OE.

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.

Buy pads and the sensor from FCP Euro. Use their lifetime replacement warranty for the next set. Went to the dealer in July for an alignment and they recommended pads for a similar price. I bought pads rotors and sensors for front and back, total was $1000 for BMW parts. You could save with Jurid which is listed as OE and OEM. My pads are at 4mm all around so I'm actually waiting for the sensor to trip before doing the job.

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.

the only issue I’ve had with it is the brakes squeak sometimes. They work fine but it annoys me and they say it’s “normal”.

The pads were about 60% worn and hard large metal shards embedded in them and the rotors have always been badly grooved from day 1. This suggest that its more likely the rotor that is a soft material. Once there are metal shards in the pads that will cause uneven friction and promote brake grab and pulsing. I replaced the pads and the \u201cwarp\u201d pulsing has gone completely, but I suspect the new pads will also eventually pick up metal shards from the rotor. The other point is in case people want to avoid factory pads is that the front pads are Jurid and the rears ATE. I ve replaced all with Padid.

When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.

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

In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
