Rear Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz S430 and S500

Restore rear braking performance on select Mercedes-Benz sedans with the Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-63138. This rear disc brake kit is built for 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz S430 and 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz S500 applications, combining coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one service package.

The DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured for stable friction performance, scorched to reduce initial break-in, and paired with rubber-steel-rubber shims to help control noise, vibration, and harshness. The GEOSPEC coated rotors use a corrosion-resistant silver-gray finish, are shipped dry and ready to install, and are machined to OE-style tolerances for consistent braking feel.

Product Details

This Dynamite Friction brake service kit is designed for rear axle service on Mercedes-Benz S430 and Mercedes-Benz S500 models from 2003 through 2006. The coated rotors are made from G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification and undergo balance inspection and final quality checks before shipment. The ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction output, while the hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel to support proper caliper movement and reduce wear-related noise.

Part number 4512-63138 is a practical choice for drivers searching for a rear brake kit for 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz S430 or a rear brake kit for 2003-2006 Mercedes-Benz S500. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Vibration or harshness during braking

Installation Notes

Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting surfaces before installation. Clean the hub face thoroughly so the coated rotor seats flat, and follow proper torque procedures during reassembly. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, so no oil removal is required before service. After installation, perform a controlled bed-in procedure to help the pads and rotors mate evenly.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent performance, and the hardware is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
