I wonder if MB released low dust sport brake pads for their new model line cars?

My old w202 C43 had factory fitted Jurid pads in front which where da bomb in braking!
Only issue is that these pads are filthy as hell when it comes to clean the wheels.
Front wheels gets dirty, more dirty and very more dirtier if I use the brakes hard on my car.
I loved the factory Jurid's because they bite hard like a pitbull!

So I replaced these pads many years ago with Porterfield R4s street pads.
Wheels are much cleaner with R4s carbon/kevlar pads.

I would like to know if MB sells sport pads with a new compound formula or should I go with the same R4s pads when time is up for renewal my brake system?

Any inside info on genuine brake pads for AMG cars?
 
I used EBC pads (green or red) for low dust , mb pads are still very dusty
 
Try the new Textar epod ceramic pads or the ATE ceramics.

These Textar and ATE Ceramic compound are they aftermarket pads?
Are they clean and low dust?
Do they give any squeeling?

My Porterfield pads are a bit slippery when they are cold if I haven't used the brakes for long time when I drive.

Funny, I never liked the EBC.
Many years ago back in the 90's, if I remember correct EBC didn't get the very best reviews in performance test magazines??
Had to do with poor compound quality or something like that?
Maybe they are da bomb nowadays?

I keep hearing good things about them. Low dust, but good bite even from cold. Hoping to try some soon!
