I once used these on my 1997 C280.  They trashed the rotors in no time flat
and sounded horrible (sort of a grinding noise).

I tried them on a 1990 300E. They didn't dust while I had them in the car
(not very long). I didn't like them at all and went to Textar (yellow box);
much better pad even though it dusts some. As I remember it, the EBCs didn't
brake consistently and made scary noises (rather like Steve described).
(and yes, I like parenthetic comments...)

Subject: [MB] Less brake dust: Metal Masters

I realize that many folks don't care for Metal Masters but I have 
been using them now for over 8000 mi on my 450SL and no 
squeal, NO brake dust, no vibration while braking and I can't tell 
ANY difference in braking from my old Textars.  I once locked the 
wheels up just as a dog ran out in front me and all was well.  Even 
the dog.

Just my 2cents so far with the Metal Masters.
