vs
Brake pads DBA or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
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.
Pros: Mechanically the best car
Cons: bits and pieces needed replacing
Mileage: 200000 km
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
Pros: same feel, no dust
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
Pros: brake pads replaced
DBA pads and slotted rotors From knsbrakes.com. Came in at $1,080 delivered last year. Completely eliminated the shudder with the stock brake pads and the slotted rotors look awesome.
Pros: eliminated shudder, awesome look
DBA Sport. Heaps less dust than oem.
Pros: less dust
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.
Pros: good stopping power, eliminates brake dust
Cons: MB organic pads
Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.
Pros: fantastic engine, brakes
Cons: expensive repairs
I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.
Cons: constant scraping while driving
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
We had an W211 and it was awesome, except of course for the whole brake recall fiasco. Thankfully Mercedes eventually sorted that.
Pros: fiasco sorted
Cons: brake recall fiasco
Dba xp pads with dba t3 rotors, but wouldn't use them again they dust like hell
Cons: lots of dust
