The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz SL450 and SL550
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for select Mercedes-Benz SL models. Part number 4502-63186 combines coated rotors and matched brake pads in one package for a straightforward rear brake replacement.
Compatible With 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550 rear and 2018-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450 rear applications, including select AMG Sport Package and non-AMG Sport Package configurations. This rear brake kit is also listed for 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz SL400 rear and 2017 Mercedes-Benz SL450 rear configurations noted in the fitment data.
Key Features
- Disc brake kit with rear rotors and brake pads
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor specification for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 100% inspected rotor balance and critical dimensions
- DFC 5000 Advanced pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Part number 4502-63186
Product Details
DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered as a complete rear brake solution for Mercedes-Benz SL450, SL550, and related SL applications listed in the fitment table. The coated rotors are designed to resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated rotors, while the dry finish eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal response, with shims that help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.
Part number 4502-63186 is a practical choice for drivers replacing worn rear brake components on a Mercedes-Benz SL450 or Mercedes-Benz SL550 and wanting matched rotor-and-pad components in one service kit.
What This Brake Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
- Brake noise caused by aged pads or rotor surface wear
- Reduced stopping performance from depleted friction material
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer service time from separate rotor and pad sourcing
Installation Notes and Tips
Install on the rear axle only, matching the vehicle configuration shown in the fitment data. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which can reduce prep time during service. Always verify AMG Sport Package, wheel package, and rotor configuration notes before ordering, especially on 2015-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL applications. Follow factory brake service procedures, torque specifications, and bedding recommendations after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC machines each rotor to tight tolerances, applies a non-directional finish, and inspects critical dimensions to help ensure OE-spec fit and function. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
