2. What should I be paying?
3. Fronts have a wear dimple/rears havnt. Is this cos my tears are totally shot or not?

1. Genuine MB
2. Around £650 for fronts, rears, pads and sensors, unless it's PPP, then add another £1000
3. Not sure on the dimples. I've not seen them on mine.

Strangely rears have worn faster than fronts!

Are they outside MB's thickness limit?

No fronts are fine as dimple still showing on discs and pads are really meaty.

The tears caught my eye today as pads look low and whilst I'm there I figured do the discs. The discs look a bit lippy.

I'll do them myself. Not paying for a 5 minute job.

If you don't have an LSD and you drive hard then the rears will wear quickly due to the way the TC works.

I have LSD Quaife

Though it's been a bit slippy due to the weather.

So with my Quaife am I better just driving in sport mode or traction off?

Cheaper to buy new discs than pay for the consequence of driving with traction off.

Why?

Well if you are driving hard enough that the rears are wearing out more quickly than the fronts due to the way TC works...you're being kept out of trouble. What happens the first time the TC would be needed but is turned off.

Someone on here was looking for C63 brakes parts recently and mentioned Kunzmann as being a decent well priced supplier.

True lol.

I don't drive particularly hard as can be noted by my frugal fuel consumption but in the wet it's easy to spin them up.
