Brake pads Bendix or OEM Mercedes
I put Bendix pads and rotors frt n back on mine a year ago.
Doing a good job, we tow and load up with firewood alot.
Nice even wear on everything. Smooth stops.
I literally just did the rear rotors/pads and front pads for my amg GTS last week. I found that MBpartscenter.com had the best price that are OEM. Only 1k per rotor (compared to the dealer who wanted 1700 each). I also got porterfield R4S pads from pelican parts. They are considered streetable/track pads. I didn’t change the front rotors yet, but if I were to I would get them from FCP euro at $500 each rotor. My mechanic charged me $500 for install and a brake fluid flush
I replaced the front pads with some bendix 4wd pads and machined the rotors, was a noticeable improvement straight away. I also flushed the brake fluid at the same time.
I consider my W204 C63 visceral, even if not analog. The 6.2 V8 makes all kinds of nasty noises you would not expect from a Mercedes and it howls all the way up to 7200rpm, which may not be that high, but still impresses me given the size of the engine. The car is quick, noisy and has the brakes to back it up.
I just did my Rotors and brakes on my 2nd Gen 2005 and used Bendix Rotors PRT5716 for rears and PRT5675 for front. As for pads I used their Premium Copper free CFC1100 and it major difference in stopping feels like its brand new again. Also pads I did before I hated they were Wagner Ceramic Thermo quiet pads and they squeaked non stop min put them in it drove me nuts I got money use out of them and used them till I couldn't take squeaking anymore LOL
Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.
Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.
I had bendix on my cars before, the gen CT and metal king has too much metal components, hence its noisy and scratches the rotors.
Just changed brake pads on the S65. Discovered an oil leak, likely from a turbo line.
I bought Bendix DB2315 EURO+ for my Mercedes B180 year 2012 Petrol.
Tried to change the front brake pads and they don't fit.
