[W126 Coupe] Suggestion on Rotors and Pads

[Jay Hirsch]

I have Akebono pads on my  560 SEC  and 300 SDL would never use OEM  
Mercedes pads again.
Met some "young tuner" guys at a cruise night three years ago and  
heard them talking about after market  "stuff."
Akebono was high  on their  list.
Changed over two weeks later and have been very happy since, no   
squeal and NO DUST, NONE, and they stop the car.

You want the standard pads, not racing pads since racing pads only   
begin to work better  after heating up after high speed stops
keep cruisin
