The Story
Front Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz 560SL
DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-63130, is a front disc brake kit for 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL models. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware in one service package for a complete front brake refresh.
Key Features
- Fits 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, front
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-63130
Product Details
This DFC brake service kit is built around OE-style rotor and pad engineering for the Mercedes-Benz 560SL front axle. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and processed dry so they are ready for installation without additional cleaning. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and vibration. For drivers searching for a front brake kit for 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL, front rotor and pad replacement, or a DFC 4512-63130 brake kit, this package brings the major wear components together in one application-specific set.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
- Reduced stopping performance from aged pads
- Brake noise caused by worn hardware or pad movement
- Corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued brake hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Inspect calipers, slides, and brake hoses before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface, verify rotor runout, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation. Because the rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, no oil removal step is required before assembly. Confirm front axle fitment for 1986-1989 Mercedes-Benz 560SL before ordering.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and all vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when needed. DFC states that the rotors meet OE specifications and includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
