I bought "Textar" brand pads from Mercedesshop.com and they are like night and day regarding the amount of dust! The wheels were only clean immediately after washing before - after the first drive I'd be able to see a haze of dust on the fronts. Now the front wheels stay almost as clean as the back! Highly recommended! (I called the 800# and they were very helpful and recommended this brand and had applications that are NOT in the fastlane inventory).

I wish I had "sprung" for the wear sensors, I saved a couple bucks but the old ones were a little brittle. I advise you to go ahead and get the sensors.

Lastly, I discovered that the Meguiar's "Hot Wheels" wheel cleaner is the ONLY substance I have found that actually gets brake dust off WITHOUT SCRUBBING! It is amazing!! Try it, you'll be glad you did! It looks chintzy because it comes in a hot pink bottle but don't let that fool you.
