You can't go wrong with OEM. That being said, if you are going to go with aftermarket parts, either the Balo, Zimmerman or Brembo rotors are good and the Textar, Pagid, or Jurid pads are usually decent. I usually use aftermarket Textar pads and Balo rotors. The stuff you get on fastlane under these brandnames will usually be decent. Only parts I recommend staying away from are the Ate pads or rotors. Ate is an OEM supplier of a lot of the mechanicals of Mercedes brake systems, however, Ate is NOT an OEM supplier of any pads or rotors that I know of and I have not been too impressed by the quality of said items in the past.
