on my c43 I had JURID as factory fitted.
now I have Porterfields R4S.
less dusty, no noise, less wear on rotors as they say!
but the bite isn't as near good as Jurid pads.
Porterfilds use CF/Kevlar compund?
I guess that's why they are pricey?

not sure on W208 but brembo seems to ring bells.

 

[nick.ged]

definatly brembo from the factory, red stuff do them in ceramic...

I think they are Pagid

just replace with EBC pads and save urself some wheel cleaning!

The problem with the EBC pads is they have poor feel (IMO) and fit terribly.

the reason i ask about who makes them for AMG, in is that Eurocar Parts offer Pagid & ATE pads for reasonable money incomparrison to the dealers. I wouldn't be surprised if they were Pagid as they make as factory fit for 911's. Tried EBC and do use them in my track car, but they squeal occaionly and dont work too good when cold, and wear out quick.

The standard AMG pads work very well and last ages.

I agree, especially the green stuff. Isn't merc renowned for using high friction but soft pads to give great bite 9and a lots of dust)

I just got Ferrodo (no not the hobbit) and they are marked Premium OEM quality ??
