I only have 9500 miles on it but at least 4000 of the miles I had my old 22's on it. So I think I might be needing new pads? Anyone have any input, I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

I would be very surprised if you needed new pads for the 300C this soon. The stock rotors and pads are huge and wear should be lower than average. UNless you're taking the car to the track or autocrossing every weekend, I would expect several times that mileage.
The car is so new that the aftermarket hasn't yet come up with a wide variety of friction choices yet. Acebono ProACT pads are available from Tire Rack for $77 front and $66 rear. I haven't seen much else and don't carry anything yet.
I agree with Model 57. You should pull a wheel and take a look at your original pads to see how much meat is left on them.
