Could you tell me which one is better . After market for 35-75 $ or original for 105 $ ??? Is it a big difference in quality. Some times we try to save some money, but many times it doesn't work.
Thanks.

 

What year car and model do you have?

 

E 320 4 matic, 1998.

 

My limited research and personal experience is that should you wish best overall in brake pad design, that is good cold braking, protection from excess rotor wear and heat, lack of squeaking, and perhaps other performance qualities, go with the OEM. The reason I think this is that many aftermarket pads attempt to do "better" and this I equate to either not having good stopping while cold/the need to warm up the brakes, and perhaps more wear on the rotors for the sake of performance. I once tried a set of "performance" pads on my 911 and they were crappy until the brakes heated up. Just my .02. I could be wrong, but if there is a question in your mind, go with OEM.

 

Thanks.
