    Default Time for new rotors/pads on the Benz. OEM or Raybestos?

    Dont know much about brakes. Just a daily driver so I dont need anything high performance. Anyone ever used the Raybestos brand rotors/pads? Opinions?

    If you dont need anything high performance but are looking for something cheaper than OEM just get the OE spec ones from crappy tire.
    I always do pads and rotors as I think machining is a waste of time but thats me

    Yes, just get any ol OE pads whatever your favorite store carries. Or go on RockAuto.com and look through the Budget, Middle, High choices

    Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

    +1 for rockauto. Look for the options that have a little heart beside them and pick the one that fits your budget.

    I would also search the part numbers you find on rockauto.
    Sometimes Amazon or a Canadian online parts dealer will have the set you want with better pricing. Shipping of brake/rotor sets from rockauto will bump up the total price.
