Discs and pads advice

[TKvS]

Hi guys, hopefully someone can give some advice.

My CLS 350 /W219 is coming up to MOT time in May, so, I'm looking to replace my front discs and pads, the discs I have at present are solid / vented MB originals, I'd like to run with new cross-drilled / vented and suitable pads, I don't want to throw fortunes at them as I only do approx 1500 M.P.A. and rarely run past 80-90 mph, so no need for Brembos or other exotica, just a good price on standard fayre, I also plan on tidying up the calipers and painting them.

Also, anyone know the disc diametes for front and rear for the CLS ?

Thanks in advance for any advice rendered !

Unfortunately, the compatibility chart states does not fit my vehicle !

Just out of curiosity why do you want drilled rotors, is it for aesthetics or performance?

The only time I have experienced brake fade was on my mountain bike when I was using a mineral oil based system and my confidence was low so I was braking too much.

I guess drilled rotors will prevent pad glazing

And they look good!

No particular reason Ivan, I don't think they would offer significant benefit over plain discs, it's mostly aesthetics.

Thanks Tony, something for consideration there, have to check the diameter of my discs, seems to be some variation in adverised sizes for the CLS 350.
