DFC GEOSPEC and 5000 Series

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line uses a coated silver-gray surface to improve corrosion resistance compared with conventional paint or zinc finishes. Rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface for more even pad bed-in, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for modern braking demands, with post-curing, scorching, and NVH-focused shims to support smooth operation on the Mercedes-Benz SL500 rear brake system. Part number 4512-63170 is a complete rear service kit for this application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear or rotor finish issues
• Vibration or harshness from worn brake components
• Reduced braking consistency from fatigued hardware

Installation Notes

Use this kit for the rear axle only on 2003-2004 Mercedes-Benz SL500 models listed in the fitment data. The rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before installation. Follow standard brake service procedures, verify rotor orientation and pad placement, and inspect caliper condition before assembly.
