Ceramic Front brake pads for SLK55?

ppower · 05-06-2008

Does the SLK55 use the same front brake setup as any other MB? Like the SL55 or SL65? I know it uses the same rear pads as those 2 cars, just wondering about the front.

Thanks

Thanks for the info and link, seems Centric is only on that makes them right now. Akebono is still in the process of designing some. So, looks like I'll be buying those Posi Quiet pads from Centric. I hate the OEM ones, I have never seen a pad that makes so much and such black brake dust before. Plus, at low speeds they tend to make some noise...Be happy when they are gone.
