Well the general concensus is DIY with new rotors!
I feel M-B has done a great job convincing 'the owner' that there car's are well engineered and important to go with 'new rotors and factory pads'.
Yes, my 29K mile SL factory brakes work great with no noise. But, it's the black dust that I'm tired of. I don't have ANY on my new Honda wheels.
Why is it that a Ford Taurus front rotor can be turned 2-3 times but a M-B rotor needs to be replaced? Not even one turn is suggested. It's my idea to turn the rotor in order to assure a smooth surface and remove any old pad compound. $160 turned vs $350 for new ones.
So far I have not heard of anyone having problems after putting a Ceramic pad with a M-B rotor. Only good feedback of brake feel with no brake dust or noise.
