Mercedes Benz R500 Disc Brake Kit in US

A complete disc brake kit for the Mercedes Benz R500 is the most efficient way to perform a full axle disc brake service on your R500. The friction components, rotor surface finish, pad compound, and caliper hardware on the Mercedes Benz R500 all function as an integrated system. Sourcing each element separately for the R500 introduces compatibility variables that manifest as brake noise, vibration, or inconsistent pedal feel in the first months of service on your Mercedes Benz R500.

What Is Included in the Mercedes Benz R500 Disc Brake Kit

The kit for your Mercedes Benz R500 includes front or rear disc brake rotors at OEM or performance specification for the R500, brake pads in ceramic or semi-metallic formulation compound-matched to the Mercedes Benz R500 rotor specification, a caliper hardware kit with slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips for correct caliper float on the R500, brake lubricant for correct caliper pin and shim installation on your Mercedes Benz R500, and rotor mounting hardware where required by the Mercedes Benz R500 application.

Three Kit Levels for the Mercedes Benz R500

OEM Replacement Disc Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz R500

Restores factory braking performance exactly on your Mercedes Benz R500, the correct specification for everyday commuting and family use of the R500 in American conditions.

Antirust Coated Disc Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz R500

The most practical choice for American Mercedes Benz R500 drivers. Zinc-coated or e-coated rotor surfaces on the R500 resist the rust that plain rotors develop within days of road salt exposure on your Mercedes Benz R500, maintaining consistent friction performance through multiple winter seasons.

Performance Disc Brake Kit for the Mercedes Benz R500

Uses cross-drilled and slotted rotors with high-performance pads for Mercedes Benz R500 drivers who tow, drive mountain roads, or generate sustained braking temperatures beyond what factory-spec rotors manage effectively on the R500.

Why Correct Hardware Is as Important as the Friction Components on the Mercedes Benz R500

Caliper slide pins, pin boots, and anti-rattle clips on the Mercedes Benz R500 are the most commonly overlooked components in a brake service and the most common cause of brake noise complaints after a pad change on the R500. Sticking slide pins on your Mercedes Benz R500 prevent the caliper from floating freely, causing the outer pad to wear faster than the inner. Every GeoBrakes disc brake kit for the R500 includes fresh hardware as a standard component.

Signs the Disc Brake Kit on Your Mercedes Benz R500 Is Due

• Vibration or pulsation through the R500 brake pedal during stops

Frequently Asked Questions - Mercedes Benz R500 Disc Brake Kits

Should I buy a front kit, rear kit, or both for my Mercedes Benz R500?

Front brakes on the Mercedes Benz R500 handle 60 to 70 percent of braking force and wear faster than the rear. If only one axle on your R500 is due for service, buy that kit. If both axles on the Mercedes Benz R500 need service simultaneously, combining them in one order above $99 qualifies for free US-wide delivery.

What rotor type should I choose for my Mercedes Benz R500 in American conditions?

For everyday commuting on your Mercedes Benz R500, an antirust coated OEM kit is the most practical choice, delivering factory-level performance while resisting the corrosion plain rotors develop rapidly on the R500 in road salt conditions. For towing or performance driving with your Mercedes Benz R500, a drilled-and-slotted performance kit provides improved heat management.

How long do disc brake kits last on a Mercedes Benz R500?

Under normal American driving, a quality disc brake kit on the Mercedes Benz R500 typically lasts 50,000 to 70,000 kilometres. Antirust coated kits tend to last longer on the R500 because corrosion is a major cause of early rotor replacement on American Mercedes Benz R500 vehicles.
