Report: Replace Brake Rotors When Pads are Worn and Squeaking
Mercedes-Benz SL550 Problem

Due to the size and material used on the brakes of these vehicles, the brakes may start to squeak around the 50 percent wear point. The brake rotor surfaces become uneven, causing a lip to form at the outer edge of the rotor. Because of this, the rotors are usually replaced when the pads are worn (pad life varies depending on driving style and terrain).

Even after pad replacement brakes continued to squeal. Had to have the rotors replaced to stop the noise. Seemed very early on for such a major expense.
