C63,replacement pads question.
Discussion
Just purchased a stunning 2012 face lifted black saloon with black alloys with a silver rim. Cracking car and such an addictive soundtrack.
I've noticed there is not much meat left on the front and rear pads and with a track day coming up in may at Bedford I'm thinking I should get these sorted. As the car does not have an electric handbrake I would like to attempt to change them myself as I have managed this before with not too much drama on previous cars I have owned.
My question is this, what pads to go for? Aftermarket will no doubt be cheaper than eom and I am more than happy to go down this route if there are some high quality ones out there? Anyone have any aftermarket pads on their car that they would recommend? And how much? Also any tips from anyone that has taken on a DIY pad change on a c63?
Thanks in advance!

Although Mercedes don't manufacture the brake pads, they are probably Textar or something similar
