Detailed Features of the Premium UV Coated OE Equivalent Rotor

This Brembo rotor belongs to the Premium UV Coated OE Equivalent Rotor line, designed to meet or exceed original equipment specifications. The UV coating provides a protective layer against corrosion, which is especially beneficial for vehicles exposed to moisture and road salts. The rotor’s vented construction, combined with a 312 mm outside diameter and 28 mm nominal thickness, ensures effective heat dissipation during braking. The drilled braking surface enhances performance by allowing gases and debris to escape, reducing the risk of brake fade under demanding conditions. The centering diameter of 67 mm and 5-hole configuration match the OEM fitment for the Mercedes-Benz SL500, ensuring proper alignment and secure mounting with the included fixing screws.
