The cross-drilled surface pattern helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, while the vented design with curved vanes improves airflow to maintain rotor temperature. This product line is suitable for drivers seeking a balance between OEM fitment and improved thermal management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Description and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis disc brake rotor features a vented design with curved vanes that promote efficient airflow, reducing the risk of brake fade during extended use. The cross-drilled surface enhances heat dissipation and helps prevent gas buildup between the pad and rotor surface. With a nominal thickness of 1.264 inches (32.1 mm) and a discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30 mm), the rotor maintains structural integrity throughout its service life. The overall height of 2.555 inches (64.9 mm) and outside diameter of 12.992 inches (330 mm) ensure compatibility with the specified Mercedes-Benz models. The rotor mounts using a floating disc system with five lug holes on a 4.409 inch (112 mm) bolt circle diameter, matching factory specifications. Note that this rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Common Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReplacement rotor for Mercedes-Benz E350, E500, and E550 models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSuitable for Mercedes-Benz SL500 and SL550 vehicles\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAddresses issues such as brake fade, rotor warping, and uneven pad wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for restoring braking performance on vented disc brake systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHelps maintain consistent stopping power under normal and demanding driving conditions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEnsure rotor thickness is above discard thickness (1.181 inches) before installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVerify bolt hole pattern and rotor dimensions match vehicle specifications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eClean rotor surface before installation to remove any protective coatings\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUse proper torque specifications on lug nuts to avoid rotor distortion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInspect brake pads and calipers during rotor replacement for optimal performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuality Assurance and Warranty\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCentric manufactures the C-TEK Standard Cross-Drilled Disc Brake Rotors to meet or exceed OEM standards for fit, form, and function.
