W163:Brake Pad Recommendations...

[MLingus]

Hello guys,I have a ML270 CDI 2004 model.
I believe it has the Brembo brakes because they are MASSIVE
Does anybody(especially fellow ML owners)recommend anywhere to get some brake pads from,apart from the main dealers???
I'll be needing the rear brake pads.
What BRAND is the best quality and best value???
Any replies would be much appreciated

ATE from Euro car parts are excellent quality

Thanks for that BlackC55
Mercedes-Benz says I'll need the sensor(s) and cleaner(?) as well.
Do you think it's necessary?
The rear pads are approximately 90% worn
Rear pads 64.43 + VAT
Sensor 7.74 + VAT
Cleaner 6.54 + VAT
Labour will be 119.04 + VAT.
What do you think of these prices
Many thanks.

Are OMP (road & sport) rear brake pads (part no. OT/8027) any good?
I've just saw a set for 46.50 with free delivery
Also, EBC Red Stuff rear brake pads (part no. DP31395C) for 35.72 + P&P.
The ATE pads from eurocarparts are 52.84 + VAT.

Fit them yourself to save the labour. Lots of how to do its on the web.

What you will need is several sachets of high temp brake grease to lubricate the pad/caliper surfaces. Your MB dealer can supply this. Oh and a good quality face mask to prevent dust inhalation while doing the job.
