Featuring cross-drilled surfaces and vented construction, these rotors help maintain optimal braking temperatures and reduce the risk of brake fade. This product line is engineered to meet or exceed OEM standards, making it a suitable replacement for Mercedes-Benz vehicles requiring reliable stopping power without modifications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Details and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor is vented with curved vanes that promote efficient airflow, helping to dissipate heat generated during braking. The cross-drilled surface enhances water and gas evacuation, improving brake pad contact and reducing fade under heavy use. With a nominal thickness of 1.181 inches and a discard thickness of 1.079 inches, the rotor ensures safe and effective braking performance throughout its service life. The rotor’s outside diameter of 13.583 inches and precise mounting dimensions guarantee compatibility with Mercedes-Benz CLK500, CLK550, and SLK55 AMG models. The floating disc mounting design allows for slight movement to reduce stress and improve rotor longevity.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement rotor for Mercedes-Benz CLK500 brake system maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Mercedes-Benz CLK550 requiring vented, cross-drilled rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUsed in Mercedes-Benz SLK55 AMG for enhanced brake cooling and performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses issues such as brake fade during extended driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eResolves rotor warping caused by excessive heat buildup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is within specifications before mounting. Use proper torque settings on lug nuts to avoid rotor distortion. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, reuse existing components or replace as necessary. It is recommended to replace brake pads simultaneously to ensure optimal braking performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric manufactures the C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors to meet strict quality standards and OEM specifications.
