hello everyone,

i'm preparing my car (1989 300E) for sale and would like to replace all 4 break disks and pads, i'm not looking for anything hi-end, just a good value for a buck, can you please give your suggestions?

thank you in advance,
andrei slobtsov

Click on "buy parts" at the top of the screen and/or call Phil for recommendations. He offers a number of alternatives.

Andrei, puchase new discs/rotors at your local MB dealer. Purchase Textar brake pads and brake pad wear sensors online.

Phil at FastLane has them too...please support this site.

But yes, choose Textar. Best all-around performance, low dust, and they don't squeal like the Pagids.

Man, I have some pads on my 126 that were on it when I bought it. I have never in my life heard brakes that squeal as bad. My car sounds like an old bus!

textar, without a doubt

If you don't like cleaning black brake dust every third day then see if there are Ceramic pads for especially the fronts.

I put Akebono pads all the way around on my MY00 SL500 and never have to clean the wheels or calipers in between washes.

Does anyone know how those work in the rain? I just want the ones that stop the best!

Akebonos!

I've had these Benzes for years, and always put Textars or Pagids on, and had to clean the wheels twice a week.

I put Akebonos in the 210. From now on, every brake job gets Akebano pads. They stop the car just as good as anything else, are quiet, and make NO dust. I should have done this a long time ago.
