I put new pads on all four corners and wear sensors on the front about a year 
ago and have had absolutely no noise. The pads were Padgid (sp?). I also used 
MB pad paste. The pads fit without having to camfer the edges. I've been told 
that MB uses relatively soft steel on the rotors so soft pads are a must. 
Hard pads i.e. Repco Metal Masters will cause premature wear on the rotors. I'm 
willing to put up with the softer pad's brake dust. Replacing OEM pads is 
certainly cheaper than new rotors.
