Rear Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz ML-Class

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for select Mercedes-Benz ML-Class SUVs. Part number 4512-63211 combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete rear brake refresh.

Compatible With 2000-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML430, ML55 AMG, and ML500 rear brake service applications, this kit is designed for drivers looking for OE-style fitment, corrosion protection, and consistent braking performance.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rear rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction for OE-style durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake 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 NVH control
• Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Line Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line focuses on corrosion resistance and OE-level machining accuracy. The coated finish helps protect the rotor surface from rust, while the precision-machined face and balance inspection support even wear and stable braking. The 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for modern vehicle braking demands and uses ceramic friction material with noise-reducing shim construction.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or fatigued hardware
• Corrosion on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from stressed or corroded hardware
• Reduced braking consistency during everyday driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2000-2001 Mercedes-Benz ML430, rear; fits 2000-2003 Mercedes-Benz ML55 AMG, rear; fits 2002-2005 Mercedes-Benz ML500, rear. Verify rear axle application before ordering and compare the existing rotor and pad setup to confirm match. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Part number 4512-63211 is supplied dry and ready for installation. During service, follow standard brake cleaning and bedding procedures to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
