Technical Specifications and Features

This disc brake rotor features a vented design with curved vanes that optimize airflow and cooling during braking. The cross-drilled surface helps to dissipate heat and gases generated under heavy braking conditions, reducing the risk of brake fade. The rotor measures 13.543 inches (344.000 mm) in outside diameter and has a nominal thickness of 1.260 inches (32.000 mm), with a discard thickness of 1.181 inches (30.000 mm) to ensure safe replacement intervals. The overall height is 2.547 inches (64.700 mm), and it mounts using a floating disc system with a 5-lug hole pattern, each hole measuring 0.594 inches (15.100 mm) in diameter. The center hole diameter is 2.638 inches (67.000 mm), and the mounting bolt hole circle diameter is 4.409 inches (112.000 mm). This rotor does not include an ABS tone ring or bearings.

Compatible Vehicles and Applications

• Mercedes-Benz E400
• Mercedes-Benz SLC43 AMG
• Mercedes-Benz SLC300
• Mercedes-Benz SLK250
• Mercedes-Benz SLK300
• Mercedes-Benz SLK350

This rotor is designed specifically for these Mercedes-Benz models, ensuring proper fitment and performance when replacing worn or damaged rotors.

Common Issues Addressed by This Rotor
