    I've been using the akebono euro ceramic pads on brembo rotors up front. They have 40,000 miles on them and still look new.

    I have normal Merc pads and I hate the dust. Ceramic pads produce half the dust right?

    Are these the pads u guys were talking about?

    Akebono Euro Ceramics make ZERO noise and essentially 99% less dust.

    Is there any performance difference?
    It seems that MB would use those stock but maybe they werent as popular when our cars were out.

    I have the porterfield R4S on my c43 amg.
    They work great but feels a little slippery?
    Is this because of carbon fibre/titanium mixture?
    I had my factory jurids they are awesome but way filthy in dusting the rims, they bite like a pitbull
    cheers
