Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Mercedes

I put carbon ceramic brakes from power stop on my C63. They were an improvement over stock and best of all no dust.

15k miles on powerstop “street sport” whatever pads with raybestos painted and coated rotors. Powerstop shoes and drums in the rear. All well so far, hardware appeared quality, pads have a little more bite than whatever was on it when I bought it.

Absolutely love em, and I abuse them, they still last

I have had great luck with the full ceramic power stop kit as well.

I've used Powerstop in the past and like them. Good stopping power, low dust, good price.

For a street only car, powerstop pads are what I ran for the longest time; very little to no brake dust, and I feel they bite better than auto part store pads; if you want to head into track-ready/entry pads, then the rest of the comments here are a decent guide at what to look for

I have powerstop on all four corners with no issues.

I used power stop for years they're great.

Power stops are fine. I've used them. My rears are still good at 240k miles.

Might I share an experience with my Mercedes Warranty Service: It was my last "scheduled" maintenace on my Benz before my warranty expired in a month... This is what my service rep told me behind closed doors...."We better schedule in as many repairs as possible" 4 new break pads and 2 new rotars for the front (even though they still had a few more thousand mile on them), replacement wood trims for 2 of the door panels, new wiper blades and arm, a whole new radio system b/c the tape player broke (even though I've put probably only 2 tapes into the bay for the 4 years I owned the car); a brand new driver seat b/c one of the heating element on the car seat would not power on (I live in Florida, rarely ever used it).....
