W212 brakes and discs

[Mrsayle]

Has anyone upgraded the discs and pads on there W212 ? And if so what did you go for and how is it? Or maybe it's just pads that have helped ?

Looking to upgrade on my E350 CDI

Better braking. Less heat fade. Bit more responsive stopping. Just interested if anyone has done any brake upgrades and what did they do vs cost vs satisfaction.

Are your brakes defective in some way?. My E350 CDI has what i consider to be excellent brakes.

No not defective just not as much stopping as I would like. I'm running 332bhp and 520pound ft so when I'm getting a swift drive I'm getting fade much earlier than I would like that's all. Around town driving there fine.

I have OEM brakes on mine and the only issue I have with them is the amount of dust that the pads generate. I've never had them fade on me even pulling some serious stops from high speeds.

A lot of people in the past have suggested "EBC Red Stuff", which may help your cause?
