Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for even pad contact, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction characteristics and are assembled with shims that help control brake noise and vibration. This front brake kit is a practical choice for Mercedes-Benz E350, Mercedes-Benz E400, Mercedes-Benz E250, Mercedes-Benz C350, Mercedes-Benz C300, and Mercedes-Benz E300 front brake replacement work.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Brake rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear from aged brake components
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn pads and rotors
