Any late-model Mercedes owners willing to review new brake pads/ rotors?

Hey all-

A few of you know me from my days restoring Morgans. I'm now a product manager for Power Stop brakes, and I've been tasked with creating a line of high-end, ECE R-90 complaint brake pads for European applications.

I'm looking for volunteers to review the new friction compound for noise, performance, dust, etc. I need owners of 2000-newer Mercedes, *preferably* in the Chicago metro area. Pads and rotors will be provided. I need some real-world experience with the product before we go to market.

Candidly, yes - I already tried the Mercedes forums without luck, and frankly I'm more familiar with this community of motorists anyway.

If interested, message me here, and thanks in advance!

Eric - is the cost of removing the current pads/rotors and installing the new included?

No, labor isn't included. Hopefully I can find someone who happens to need a new set of brakes, rather than impose on someone to remove serviceable parts in order to perform the review.
 
I may have a contact for you here in the Chicago area. He works at a body shop and used to work at a Mercedes dealership. Message me your contact info, etc. and I'll pass it along to him. As we say in Chicago - he knows a guy what knows a guy..... :smile:
 
Sorry if I'm reading this incorrectly, but are you saying you want a car owner to test these new brakes and the owner pays for the labor involved? Labor on a Mercedes! Confused. PJ
