Product Line Details: C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors

The C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors line by Centric focuses on delivering rotors with cross-drilled surfaces to aid in heat dissipation and brake fade reduction. This product line features vented rotors with curved vane styles to optimize airflow and cooling during braking. The 228.35062 rotor exemplifies these characteristics, providing a balance of durability and performance for Mercedes-Benz vehicles requiring precise fitment and reliable braking.

Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with curved vanes that promote efficient heat transfer, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The cross-drilled surface helps to expel gases and debris, maintaining consistent pad contact. With a nominal thickness of 28.000 mm and a discard thickness of 25.400 mm, the rotor ensures longevity and safety within specified wear limits. The overall diameter of 312.000 mm and height of 64.600 mm are engineered to match the OEM specifications for Mercedes-Benz E350, E500, and SL500 models. The rotor mounts using a floating disc system with a 5-lug hole pattern, each hole measuring 15.000 mm in diameter, ensuring secure installation.

Applications and Problem Solving

• Replacement for worn or warped rotors on Mercedes-Benz E350, E500, and SL500
• Improves braking consistency by reducing heat buildup and brake fade
• Addresses noise and vibration issues caused by uneven rotor surfaces
• Restores proper rotor thickness for safe braking performance
• Compatible upgrade for vehicles requiring vented, cross-drilled rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Ensure the rotor surface is clean and free of debris before installation. Verify the rotor thickness is above the discard thickness of 25.400 mm to maintain safety standards. Use proper torque specifications for the 5 lug bolts with 15.000 mm diameter holes. Since this rotor does not include bearings or an ABS tone ring, reuse existing components or replace as necessary. The floating disc mounting requires careful alignment to avoid uneven wear.
