The front end of my Limited is squealing, whenever I lightly press the brake pedal or turn the wheel slightly, the squeal goes away. I planned on turning the rotors this weekend @ school but heard that Mercedes uses a soft steel that you can't turn. So I hit the streets to validate this whether it's fact or opinion. My local Chrysler dealer has none in stock (rotors) @ 185.50 a piece!!! And have no clue as to whether they can be turned or not. So then I go to the Mercedes dealership about 30min away, and get the scoop. Mercedes rotors are a composite, not steel, so they can't be turned because they'll chip. Plus they're only $70 a piece!!!


First off, does this sound right to you?? I just want a rotor pad combination so I don't have to clean the wheels every other day. I keep hearing Porterfields, Rotex Golds, I have personally used EBC Green Stuff and was thinking maybe stepping up to Red Stuff or Yellow Stuff. DO I go composite, or steel??

What are some educated suggestions? You guys haven't let me down yet.
