Detailed Product Description

This disc brake kit (part number 909.35040) is engineered for front axle applications on Mercedes-Benz GLS450 and SL500 models.

The Posi Quiet friction material is formulated to provide consistent stopping power while reducing brake dust and noise. The black e-coat finish on the rotors offers a protective layer against rust and corrosion, extending the rotor's lifespan in various driving conditions.
