For what it’s worth, I’m doing the back brakes on the 1998 W210 wagon my oldest son drives. I got a set of Akebono ceramic pads from Amazon for $47.00 and a pair of rotors and new disc set screws from Mercedes for about $125. Pads are here, I’m picking up rotors when I go into the office tomorrow.
Doing an axle for under $200 is good for me, especially since it’s the rears as they’ll last a lot longer than the fronts. -D > On Oct 13, 2022, at 2:35 PM, Robert Koziak via Mercedes > <mercedes@okiebenz.com> wrote: > > Thanks for the feedback!
