This product line uses ceramic friction material combined with slotted and chamfered pad designs to enhance braking efficiency while maintaining cleaner wheels. The inclusion of pad shims helps reduce noise, making these pads suitable for drivers seeking a balance between performance and comfort.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eProduct Features and Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese disc brake pads feature an 18.0 mm thickness of ceramic friction material on both the inner and outer pads, providing a durable surface for effective braking. The slotted design aids in heat dissipation, which helps prevent brake fade during extended use. Chamfered edges reduce the likelihood of noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience. Pad shims are included to further minimize noise and ensure proper fitment. Note that these pads do not include a pad wear sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Vehicles and Applications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C230\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C240\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C280\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz C350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz CLK320\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz CLK350\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz SLK280\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMercedes-Benz SLK300\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Issues Addressed by These Brake Pads\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake dust buildup on wheels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake fade during prolonged braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise and vibration\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad wear\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking performance due to worn pads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes and Tips\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eEnsure the vehicle is securely lifted and supported before beginning installation.
