Great brakes, but different feel than OEM
I purchased these brakes for a C230 Kompressor Sport Sedan and the job couldn't have been simpler. They are very quiet and put out MUCH less dust than the OEM pads. However, they don't quite match up the Euro-Driving feel that Akebono claims. It is a bit softer and refined than the Mercedes pads which were quick and hyper responsive (as one would expect from the Sport Package). This isn't to say that one is better than the other, they're just different. It's a great pad and cleaner than the OEM pads. The only reason I don't rate them 5 stars is because there is a substantial difference of feel from the OEM pads and it's noticeable immediately. I'd rate them 4.5 if I could.You will neeed a new pad sensor when you order these. Some brands and SKUs come with one, but this set does not.

Akebono for my C320 4matic
The product fit without any problem on our 2005 C320/4. Very low dust as advertised and the dust seems to be light color unlike the OEM pads. I'm pretty happy so far.
