I think the ceramic pads come already "set" by a baking process, read that over
the weekend on one of the makers websites. Not sure if Akebono are same, I
don't remember any special process when I installed them a few years ago.
Just paid $45, I think OE from MB run about $70 or more.

I have had ATE ceramics on my TE for a few months now and no dramas,
except for a bit of squeal when reversing down the drive.
Also getting a bit of slow braking ABS pulsing but not sure if the pads
are to blame for that.
It's getting close to needing to do a few jobs on the S124, so will

Put decent pads on there, usually fixes weird stuff.
Also make sure the axle seals are good -- differential lube on the
