Brake pads Raybestos or OEM Mercedes
I’ve ordered the Raybestos Element3 for multiple vehicles and been happy with them
The Element 3's have treated me very well on multiple vehicles now.
I'm in WNY and run the Raybestos fully coated rotors and ceramic pads on my truck and wife's SUV. No issues so far after 3 years.
I would raybestos element 3 and akebono pads on my Lexus rx300. No complaints.
Raybestos Element 3. They last a while and bite pretty well when braking hard
Pretty happy with them so far.
I would recommend Raybestos ST43s but they’re going to be the same price and availability is scarce.
i went with Raybestos Element, after reading they performed OK, and the price is fairly inexpensive. so far OK with minor issues. during installation, i shaved a hair off the pad material and the pad ears to get them to fit not as tightly. and after installation, the pad sometimes makes a click sound when changing direction of travel, or sudden acceleration after a complete stop. i think the pad is moving around in its mount and making a sound. did some searching and this might even happen with OEM to some people. i added more grease to the pad backing, noise went away for a few weeks, but later returned.
I got Raybestos pads+rotors back in December… 4mo later and already vibrating when braking so prob warped the rotors, and the pads already squeal at low speed braking.
MB advisor here, GLC brakes are horrible with noise.
