• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• DFC 5000 Advanced low metallic pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

Part number 4514-63018 is engineered as a service kit for front and rear brake maintenance on the listed Mercedes-Benz models. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected to meet OE specifications. The pad compound is formulated for stable friction performance, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during brake service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Rotor vibration or inconsistent pedal feel during braking

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm axle position and rear pad configuration for your Mercedes-Benz application, including the 2-pin rear pad requirement noted in fitment. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points for wear or corrosion before reassembly. Follow proper brake bedding procedures after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications and each rotor is fully inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
