I've been quoted on Ferodo Premier, unsure if they will be any good and/or dusty? can anyone confirm?
I believe ATE make Merc OEM stuff, are these the ones to go for?
Any other recommendations?
Thanks
Guys
Where would be a good place to get these.
I've got a price from Mercedes for discs/pads and the wire, but would just like a good 3rd party comparison.
The price from Mercedes does seem reasonable good value in comparison to what Subaru tried to command for the same items on my old STI...
anyone any idea of how much i should pay to have my discs and pads replaced on the rear end of my 2003 s320 cdi or indeed reccomends of who to use please?
many thanks Joe
Just got back from the garage having had a few jobs done and I'm pleasantly surprised at the cost.
But, I'm going to need new rear discs, pads and handbrake shoes.
Seems the spring came loose on the o/s handbrake shoes and that was what caused the handbrake to fail.
Worse still, the shoes...
Has anyone tried any aftermarket brakes? I wondered how they compared to the genuine AMG part.
Should I stick with genuine MB or try something else. Car gets used daily; fast road and never gets used on a track.
Thanks in advance

After receiving the two quotes below I might try it myself :rolleyes:
Front discs & pads
Labour £98.00...
I have examined the rear pads and found that the outer pads are nearly completely worn and the inner pads are only half worn. The inner side of each disc feeling rough to the touch and possibly rusty ?
Does this mean the caliper pistons are seized on the inside ?
Any advice would be much...
