Has anyone changed brake pads?
I hate the stock brake pads on my CLS. I commute 100 miles Mon. - Fri. and by the end of the week my wheels are black with brake dust. I've had to resort to washing the wheels on Wednesdays. The Thunderbird SC I traded for my CLS never did this. It would take a month or more for my old SC's wheels to look like what my CLS's look like in a week. Has anybody upgraded their brake pads that can recommend the change? Thanks in advance.

after about a month they produce less brake dust. They are alot firmer and stop better then stock. Only thing you have to worrie about is they are a little tuffer then stock so you gotta be easy with them on the rotors
