RE: Brake Rotors and Pads after searching this forum I am ordering:

very good prices.......make sure to use some anti-rattle paste on the back of the pads to help prevent squeal. You can use the MB paste or I've heard of good results with the CRC product.

btw......my ML is probably going to my son next year. The boxster is a possible addition...how do you like yours ?

Thanks for the paste tip.

I will pick some up before the install.

I really enjoy my Boxster. I have been autocrossing it for 2 years and recently went to a track day at Pocono-- now THAT was fun and scary and awesome all at the same time. Found that I respect NASCAR drivers alot more after experiencing the banks!

It is also a great daily driver and has amazing neutral handling. It is really something to go from a day in the Boxster to the ML- quite the transition that is for sure.

Here are some pics!

RE: Brake Rotors and Pads after searching this forum I am ordering:

No problem, if you ever get near Wisconsin and want to drive that boxster around Road America just PM me. I run my Steeda prepped SVT Mystic Cobra around the circuit. It runs very close to GT2 times on DOT Hoosier rubber.
After a stomp on the brake pedal for turn 5 you will see why I love to talk about brakes.

RE: Brake Rotors and Pads after searching this forum I am ordering:

We just moved, but I have some on my puter in Colorado. The rest are in one of at least 200 boxes the movers never labeled[:(!]. I will have my brother e-mail screen res versions of some at the last Road America romp. It took me 3 days to stop grinning after that.
