Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OEM-style G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications and machined to tight tolerances for durability and stable braking performance. The dry-coated rotor surface helps resist rust and arrives ready to install without additional cleaning. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured for consistent friction and assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise. DFC hardware is engineered to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during brake service.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Front brake noise, squeal, or vibration
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear or reduced braking consistency
• Longer stopping distances from worn pads and rotors
• Loose or fatigued brake hardware causing caliper movement

Installation Notes

Before installation, verify the vehicle’s front brake configuration against the listed fitment, especially on Mercedes-Benz C230 and C280 models with 1-pin or 2-pin rear pad notes. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points for wear before reassembly. Clean all mating surfaces and follow proper bedding procedures after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and all vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when needed. DFC states that every rotor meets OE specifications and includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-63149 is designed as a complete front brake service solution for Mercedes-Benz SLK230, C230, C280, and E300 applications.
