Also theres far less pedal travel and less squishiness with the 4 piston calipers. Something to consider if you track your car.
If Mercedes thought 262mm brakes were so great they wouldn't have put 284mm brakes on the 190e 2.3-16 from the factory.

I think I'm in the same boat. My last set of rotors (Balo) were warped after 33K miles. I am somewhat sure my current set (Brembro) are starting to warp too.
I think I've got an extra set of E420 front calipers in my toolbox too.
Did you upgrade the 300D's master/booster? Your dad's 300D is the earlier 300D. I wonder if they changed to a different master/booster for the 300D 2.5 (mine)..
