Surprisingly equipment good for the price
It was time for new brakes on my 2002 Mercedes E320, and I've wanted to upgrade to slotted rotors, so why not give these a try. I've heard the name before, so this seemed like a safe bet, even though the price had me a little concerned (a similar setup from another vendor was just over $300).So the parts arrived, and they were as advertised; front and rear rotors, front and rear pads, and new front wear sensors. With one minor issue (more on this at the end), everything looked great. So the next question was how would these fit? It's always so disheartening when everything is apart, you are all dirty, and the new stuff doesn't fit. You have to put everything back together, and in the end, you are all dirty, have wasted most of a day, and the car is no different than when you started.My fears were gone when everything fit as good as the factory parts did. Everything went together without a single hitch. Nothing needed to be pushed, pulled, hammered, machined, or otherwise worked on. That was a big relief. Now for the testing.The instructions come with a pretty detailed bedding in process for the brakes, and so I did as instructed. I was a little concerned that after a few pretty hard stops, the brake pedal became very spongy, like there was air in the system or the master cylinder had started to fail. I don't think I've flushed the brake fluid in a few years, so I chalked it up to some moisture in the fluid, and some pretty high heat because of the machined friction surface. Over the next few days the brakes felt increasingly firm and smooth, so another sense of relief.Over the next couple of weeks, these have been performing exceptionally! The pedal is very firm, and the stopping power is much better than the stock brakes for the same pedal effort. These really do inspire confidence. I've used them pretty hard on a couple of occasions, and have yet to feel any pedal or steering wheel vibration. The rotors are running very straight and parallel. From what I've experienced so far, I have no reservations at all in recommending this package for anyone's next brake replacement. It seems to be a great value.Oh, the one issue. The slotting on these is directional, that is to say the left and right units are different, and the instructions show which direction the slots are supposed to go in. In this case, I received two left front rotors. I thought about this for a couple of minutes, and wondered if I should exchange the one for the correct one, and decided that the direction of the slot swipe is really pretty irrelevant (except possibly in racing situations where you are at the edge of the performance capabilities), and so just installed what was in the box. So technically this was incorrect, but it won't make a difference in performance in this application, so I really don't have a problem with it. Just mentioning it here so if this is important to you, check the parts before starting the installation.

Excellent product.
Excellent quality for the pads and rotors. I have a 2002 clk430 and not only was the fit exact but they were packaged perfect and was exactly as I ordered. I will definitely be ordering from this seller in the future.

Fit ok no issues fitting but very noisy when braking a scrubbing noise that will not go away. Don't think I will order them again. I guess it is because the pads are ceramic.
