Hi all,
After 10k i seem to have eaten through the ATE Ceramic front pads i fitted in Feb(ish) on my C250 CDi 'Sport'.... :S
The discs are barely worn in, no real lip or grooves/ridges yet.
I do drive, with gusto, shall we say, but I would have expected better than this... I can only assume they are really 'soft'.. hence the disc condition. (though i do feel the brakes are a tad small for the car, the 250 CDi should have got the same set up as the 350CDi)
I was thinking a set of Textar ceramic e-pads, for the low dust and to compare to the ATE variant..
But i'm struggling to find anywhere that stocks them for the smaller front brakes the C250 uses (plenty, ie ECP, for the 350 CDi etc running the larger brakes...) despite the epad application list seemingly showing that they make them in my size.
Does anyone have any pointers towards a stockist? Even Europe based. I got the ATE's from a German parts place, dammed if i can find them now though...
Thanks!
