OK, the OEM Parts it is!
I bought the parts from my local dealer who gives me a 15% discount off list price for being a MBCA member. The net price for the pad set was $64.60 ($76 list) and the price for the rotors was $73.95 each ($87.00 list). The pads are stamped Jurid but the discs are unmarked. The pads come with the anti-chatter paste so that saves a couple of $$$ too.
Essentially the dealer's discounted prices are about the same as Fastlane's prices for aftermarket parts...$215 for the whole setup including wear sensors. Not worth going aftermarket in this case, I stuck with genuine MB parts.
One last question...do the dealer techs do something to remove the paint covering the new rotors or just let the pads wear it off? I've never seen rotors come painted (grey) like this before...I've seen them covered in grease which I have always cleaned off with brake cleaner before installing pads...but paint?
