Balto Extreme Veteran Date registered: Mar 2012 Location: Scottsdale, AZ Vehicle(s): 2002 G500 Posts: 368 | 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 | ||

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 | ||

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 Mario | ||

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. | ||
