- W213 E400d-T, W204 C250CDI-T, W220 S320CDI (AMG Kit), W168 A170CDI, W210&W124 OM606...
Ok, I'm well aware of how many brake pad/disc threads exist, and the notable, if not significant differences in perceived performance between the usual Eicher quality through to the OEM Texar/ATE, with everything Pagid in between. But...
Having run Pagid all round on our W220 S320CDi for a few years, the level of fade when they (often) get hot is just too bad. Where we live there are plenty of opportunities to need to really push the (standard) brakes on this already heavy car, and we cant afford to put '600/AMG stoppers on it at present.
I want to avoid EBC Yellow, because from experience on other cars, they need too much warming up, and even though they are 'R90' and work really well when hot, i dont feel they are safe for UK road use, such as needing to do sudden stops on the Motorway when they have cooled right down.
So, simply, can anyone suggest other manufacturers who make 'performance' pads to fit the W220 S-class for us to try, without me having to wait for 4 weeks and £200 later for CarboTech to make me some pads!??
Thanks!
