The slotted design helps channel heat and gases away from the pad surface, reducing the risk of brake fade during demanding driving conditions. Chamfered edges contribute to quieter operation by minimizing pad-to-rotor noise. Both the outer and inner pads have a friction material thickness of 15.1 mm, providing durability and longer service intervals. Included pad shims help ensure a secure fit and further reduce noise and vibration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCompatible Mercedes-Benz Models\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese rear disc brake pads are compatible with a range of Mercedes-Benz vehicles, including the CL500, CL550, CL600, CLS400, CLS500, CLS550, E250, E300, E320, E350, E400, E500, E550, S350, S400, S430, S450, S500, S550, S600, SL500, and SL550.
