Detailed Product Features and Benefits
The Power Stop - Front Next Gen Euro Carbon Fiber-Ceramic Brake Pads with Hardware Kit (NXE-872) utilize a carbon fiber ceramic friction material that provides consistent stopping power while reducing brake dust and rotor wear. Both the inner and outer pads feature an 18.0 mm thickness, ensuring extended service life. The slotted design helps dissipate heat and gases generated during braking, which can improve pad performance and reduce the risk of brake fade. Chamfered edges on the pads help to reduce noise and vibration, contributing to a smoother braking experience.
This set includes all necessary mounting hardware and pad shims, simplifying installation and ensuring proper fitment. The performance grade of these pads makes them suitable for drivers who require reliable braking on Mercedes-Benz models such as the C230, C240, C280, C320, C350, CLK320, CLK350, SLK280, and SLK300.
