Click on "buy parts" at the top of the screen and/or call Phil for recommendations. He offers a number of alternatives.

Andrei, puchase new discs/rotors at your local MB dealer. Purchase Textar brake pads and brake pad wear sensors online.

Phil at FastLane has them too...please support this site.

But yes, choose Textar. Best all-around performance, low dust, and they don't squeal like the Pagids.

Man, I have some pads on my 126 that were on it when I bought it. I have never in my life heard brakes that squeal as bad. My car sounds like an old bus!
