Suggestions on CLS 219 front pads and discs

[Aero]

Not sure on options here other than standard OE and mine need replacing pretty soon.

Are there third party pad/disc combinations brands worth looking at? Is much performance gained by looking beyond standard OE products? I'm not looking to go mad or have eye watering braking power, just equal or better sure footed braking in all weather conditions. A bit less brake dust would be nice but that's just me being picky - not a necessity.

Would be great to hear what others have done on front brake options for the CLS219 or other models of course.

Just changed all 4 discs and pads (CLS 218), used Eurocar Parts and went for Brembo discs (drilled fronts) and pads all round but I believe this is the standard set up.

Obviously a big improvment over the heavily grooved discs that came off and I'm more than happy with the stopping power but whether it is an improvement over stock I couldn't say.

I just bought these on eBay.....I don't do a lot of mileage per annum and travel well within speed limits...so braking requirements are pretty much standard..except in emergencies....good price for Mintex pads.....and discs..pretty much a throw-away price if they're not good !
