Actually it is the opposite. The rotors last longer. I find with factory
pads, rotors wear out real fast... this is usually due to glazing... the
increased heat and friction as compared to upgraded pads.
Since the upgraded pads grabs much quicker and faster... there seems to be
less heat and wear... don`t quote me on this. I know this is very
subjective.
In my 13 years of experience with Metal Masters, the pads last longer and
the rotors never glaze.
Another upgrade I always do is buy slotted rotors. These last even longer
than standard rotors and stop way way better than stock rotors.
I also had cross drilled rotors for nearly 8 years before I had to change it
out... These are awesome but noisy... sounds just like airplane braking
after you land... However, I find the slotted rotors just as good and much
quieter.
So, a pad change with slotted rotors and your brake is pretty awesome.

Tiger, I have a E-Class(W211), the Akebono Euro Ceramic pads are not
available for my year. www.tirerack.com says they do not carry ceramic pads
for this series. I found a local independent dealer in Los Angeles Carlo
Auto Restore on Alhambra Ave, Telephone 323-225-0077 that recommended that I
use the original equipment with the SBC system. He replaced the front pads
and rotors without any problems in a couple of hours. He works on MB for a
rental car company so he was able to get the parts the same day.

Not much choices for new cars... but you will be able to buy Akebonos by the
time you need another set. I know I can get the PBR Metal Master for your
car.
