Where can i buy oem brake parts for my ML?

Looking to buy cheaper oem brake parts for my ML320. I want the parts that mercedes uses, not aftermarket. Thanks all.

Maybe you should try www.************************ ? Not sure if the ones they have are oem or aftermarket. But it should be cheap.

You can find them here. Also, I would not consider Brembo (one of the leading racing brake manufacturers in the world) to be inferior to OEM MB parts in the least. It is good to be cautions, but just because it is OEM does not mean it is better. Best to do your homework and find something better for less if you can.

why isnt the hub area painted like oem MB parts? When my ML was new, the brakes squealed and had to be replaced with newer "updated" MB rotors.... i am worried about brake squeal.

The original rotors I replaced were not painted. In fact they were so rusty that I had to use penetrating oil to get the off the hubs.

When I replaced my first set of front rotors, the ones I took off were painted! I bought replacements at the dealer; they were not. I believe Zimmerman is OEM. Last time around I got a set at The Benz Bin, and shot a few light coats of black paint on them. Eastwood Chassis Black. So far the paint is holding up well. That's the only way you're going to get painted rotors if that's what you want. The stock wheels are open enough to make the difference visible, even if it does turn a simple brake job into a three hour job!

Be sure to paint the calipers before you take the old rotors off; makes it look much nicer.
