Rear Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz SLK and C-Class

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware is a rear disc brake kit built for select Mercedes-Benz and Chrysler applications. Part number 4512-63125 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware for a complete rear brake service on supported vehicles.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rear rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time and earlier stopping response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Brake hardware engineered with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother stops and more even pad bed-in

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is machined to tight tolerances and built to OE-style G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications for durability and stability. Each vented rotor is balanced and inspected, then finished to support quieter operation and consistent braking performance. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction output, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension on the rear axle. This part number, 4512-63125, is a practical choice for Mercedes-Benz SLK200, SLK300, SLK280, SLK230, SLK320, C230, C240, C280, and E300 rear brake service, as well as Chrysler Crossfire rear brake replacement.

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

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
