I was asking if the MB OEM are in that range - someone wrote here that 
they are expensive and someone else told me he heard of spending $800 
brake job in MB dealer****p - so I figured $200 must be single axle pads. 
BTW  I paid $75 for Subaru OEM front pads at dealer****p several times.

I am just 2 weeks MB owner and it is a new warld for me.
