Brakes and Rotors

Best combo out there for my 2002 G500?

Looks like I need to get a new set because without any warning lights OR squeaking I have started getting a grinding noise this past week and its getting worse.

Do you suggest Mercedes or Aftermarket?

Thanks all

RE: Brakes and Rotors

On my 2000 G500, I used MB rotors and Rotex Gold pads; and have been very pleased with the results.

Re: Brakes and Rotors

do AMG callipers and rotors fit into 18" wheels?
I know there's an adaptor required to install the callipers into a 2002 model.

The AMGs ran 18"-wheels until a few years back

Re: Brakes and Rotors

I got some Zimmerman rotors and bendix extreme duty pads. The pads had an ambulance on them lol. I think I now have those pads on everything I own. No noise - brakes just like it did before. I believe Pelicanparts is where I got the rotors. The pads I'm drawing a blank on but I think ebay

RE: Brakes and Rotors

I got over 80k on my G now after nine years of use.

Most of my miles are of road unlike all the rest of my vehicles.

I changed pads once with out touching the rotors at 40k and a few weeks ago when rotating tires I still had half the meat left on the pads with no rotor issues.

I guess those amg brakes last longer on the second set and I got the truck with 10k on the clock when new for me.

I used stock pads and I have 18 inch stock wheels

Yeah it is crazy how long the pads on such a heavy vehicle last. My non-AMG has original rotors at around 110k! They were at the wear limit so I replaced them but thats a good life! The pads had been changed once or twice I believe in its life.
