Ken says ATE pads are good to go! As far as MB's and rotors, I really don't know what to say. My service records that I got with my 300TD-T shows several times when they were turned as part of a brake job. ( service done by MB dealer)
Maybe someone on the tech. board from this site may be able to give some insight? Personally I haven't turned a rotor since the days of Chevy V-8's ! Well, ok when I got my pickup it had bad rotors and I turned them one time to get them right again
What is scarey is that on the Rabbit even with the soft pads I can get 14 months on front pads! The Mercedes so far has made it 3 months, but the rear brakes aren't working quite like I think they should.
I have used a couple on the poll, but can't speak for all of them. The Jurids I liked.
