280SL Euro brakes
I have a 1985 280Sl Euro( 107 style, same as US 380SL) with 51k on the original German brake pads.The pads are still pretty good but they are squeking quite a bit so I plan on replacing them. Any recomendations about ceramic or metalic pads and if so where to buy them? The rotors are in excellent shape so that won't be a problem. Thanks.

I am located in Tucson Arizona but I guess I can order from the internet anywhere in the States. Do you have a brand name you can recommend? Thanks...

I like the ceramics too, just be sure to replace all four wheels as they have different gripping characteristics than conventional pads.

I had the pads checked and they didn't mention that they were glazed but I would imagine with 51k on them they probably are. I think they squeak mostly on the front but that's pretty hard to tell. I could use a recommendation as to the brand of ceramic pads to buy and where to buy them. Thanks....

I'm using carbon and Kevlar pads from Porterfield. Mine are R4-S's, no dust, squeal, or grabbing and rotor friendly.
