WOW MB is the last I thought would cut corners. I guess Chrysler is having an influence on them

pastmere,

How do you like your Zeal Brake pads?
How much you paid? and from where did you get them?

patsmere

Man I love them. The work great. You will not believe the stopping power. It takes a little bit to break them in about 100-250 mi. I got them from ACP. The rotors are sweet too. I got those from ACP also. I paid $130 for the pads. That includes shipping. Are you thinking about getting some???

90% of those cars probably already had batteries replaced. we inspect batteries on all of our services, maybe non dealers don't
thats what happens when cars are not maintained corectly

Doubt it...

pastmere,


Yes indeed I am looking for new pads for my 30k miles service. I am not settled for what brand to go with so far.
I guess that you paid $130 per pair not for 4 pads.

That is a bit steep price but it could be worth it if they do perform well.

How about dust and squeaks?

that is too sad.thought bmw and mb are making the good quality cars..but now i am doubtful.. maybe they are just expensive only..

acura_service
