[W126 Coupe] Brake upgrades

[Iain Gunn]

Exactly, drilled rotors on my Honda, with Green stuff pads,  1 year and rotors shot. Now use aftermarket rotors for $16 each Can and carbon metallic pads, $35, NO problem, and if there is I'll just replace.

  An SLK owner that frequents my mechanic's shop put the EBC Greens on his MB.  The good news:  little dust.  The bad news: one set of pads eats the rotors.  So change the pads, change the rotors, each time.  Anyone else, with info on the wear factors associated with these pads?

    I recently fitted EBC 'Greenstuff' pads (a UK company) all round and this has made a huge improvement over stock for little outlay.
