I don't think I can get ceramic pads for the calipers I have. I looked a lot, but came to the conclusion it was not an option for my caliper. The only option would be to swap to one of the other caliper styles that also came as options on our cars, as the rest do have ceramic pads available I believeSave me starting another thread, did you have any joy @MrGreedy? I am having trouble trying to source ceramic brake pads for the front of my 2012 CLS 350.
It has the AMG sports pack (so the larger drilled discs) and what I believe to be a Brembo caliper). The OEM discs & pads from MB are TRW.
I have purchased discs and normal pads, but have now decided it would be prudent to fit ceramic pads. Managed to source ceramic ones for the rear made by TRW (denoted by DTE at the end of the product code) but cannot find any for the fronts byTRW or other brands. TRW dont have them listed nor do others like ATE.
Is my only option to go EBC/Akebono etc?
AFAIK the same caliper is fitted to other models across the range but don't know which models so I could perhaps cross reference those models and find some that way.
Like @MrGreedy states, ours don't have the lugs/ears on pads.
Anyone shed any light?
