My 2003 C320 has worn front discs, they have about 1mm to go before being at the point of needing to be changed and the pads are well under half the original thickness.
My MB specialist recommends Mintex but I would be happy to hear from anyone with experience (good or bad) of other brands.
I am also unsure of the front disc size as I have seen various sizes listed on websites from 288 to 300mm, is there a chassis code somewhere that will tell me or is it a case of measuring them?
I have changed discs and pads before and am happy to do so, are there any things to watch out for and any special tools required? A "how to" guide would be very much appreciated is one exisits.
Thanks
