Re: [diesel_mercedes] Brake Pad Dust

 

I wouldn't suggest the brake dust shields, as my car came with them, and
I lost my brakes on some mountain roads in NoCal. Never again! Not a
problem since I removed the brake dust shields.

For many of the older factory alloy wheels, brake dust covers are a good solution, but for the AMG wheels dust shields just don't look good and could affect brake cooling at high speeds. . He is taking another look at the new generation of ceramic brake pads to see if a workable solution can be found. As of April 25, 2012 he has installed ceramic pads on his 1990 300SL as well as his 1990 190 2.6 and will be putting them to the test over the next few weeks. Will they live up to all their promises and hype. Check back in 4 to 5 weeks..
