Product Details

DFC built this brake kit for drivers who need OE-style fitment and consistent rear braking performance on the Mercedes-Benz SL450, SL550, and SL400. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances from G3000/G11H18 cast iron, then finished dry and ready to install. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and more even pad contact. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise. Part number 4512-63198 is a practical choice for a rear brake refresh on 2013-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL550, 2015-2016 Mercedes-Benz SL400, and 2018-2020 Mercedes-Benz SL450 applications.

Installation Notes

Confirm rear axle fitment by model year and package details before ordering, especially on Mercedes-Benz SL450 and SL550 vehicles with AMG Sport Package or wheel package notes. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which eliminates rotor cleaning before service. For proper results, follow OE service procedures, inspect caliper condition, and verify all mounting surfaces are clean before assembly.

Each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit is engineered with OE-style form, fit, and function.
