2003 Mercedes-Benz C230 Front Brake Rotors

Carquest Platinum Plus coated rotors are built to meet or exceed original equipment specifications delivering superior stopping power. Carquest Platinum Plus coated rotors have a specially engineered coating that penetrates vanes and prevents rust, corrosion and build up. This zinc and aluminum coating maintains a like-new appearance significantly longer than a standard rotor. Carquest Platinum Plus coated rotors are designed to effectively dissipate heat helping to eliminate brake fade and increase the life of your pads and rotors. These rotors are built for quiet, long-lasting performance.Tech Tip: Burnish the pads to the rotor by applying the 30/30/30 rule: 30 stops from 30 mph with 30 seconds of cool down between stops.

Since 2008 Zimmermann is offering almost 400 Standard and almost 400 Sports Brake Discs in a coated version named Coat Z. The Zimmermann Coat-Z brake disc provides a protective coating that prevents rust and corrosion, extended rotor life and improved visual appearance. To improve the rust protection during storage and usage, Otto Zimmermann GmbH implements this new Coat-Z technology step by step in its production range. Beside the still optimum function of the brake disc, this coating ensures a consistent attractive appearance. Zimmermann brake discs are usually made of cast iron (with flake graphite) of different qualities; they correspond to the material used for the original spare parts. Therefore, the utilization of such materials (referred to as High Carbon by the competition) has always been a matter of course for Otto Zimmermann.

Product Features:

• Coat-Z protective anti-corrosion coating
• No formation of rust at the hub and herewith improved visual appearance
• Immediate functional capability without removal of the coating before mounting
• Excellent deceleration action and no distortion of friction ring at high temperatures
• Substantial weight saving and therefore less unsprung mass
• Floating mounting enables radial expansion of the brake disc under relatively heavy loads, thus preventing shielding and increasing resistance to heat cracks
• Hot spots prevented by optimized design of ventilation channels
• 1:1 exchange of original disc possible
• Not subject to registration: general ABE certification supplied with disc
• No conversion required for brake tuning

The Brembo brand has a range of over 1,600 items, which covers a remarkable 98% of all passenger cars and commercial vehicles on the roads in Europe today. Brembo manufactures an OE-Quality Brake Disc that assures maximum performance and enhanced driving comfort and offers with its aftermarket rotors the same levels of quality, technology and performance that are found in many of the prestigious OEM fitments. Brembo UV Coating Technology : Environmentally friendly, solvent free UV coating offers superior protection of the disc, including braking plate surfaces. Includes new intelligent marking location for immediate control of the minimum thickness. High Carbon Discs: With their optimized thermal inertia, Brembo High Carbon discs reduce both vibration and noise. These products are the result of Brembo technology and a meticulously controlled production process in the brands foundries, which makes it possible to precisely vary the chemical composition of the cast iron, increasing the percentage of carbon in High Carbon discs. PVT pillar venting technology: ( Vented Rotors Only ) Brembo PVT discs feature the exclusive pillar venting system patented by Brembo, which improves cooling capacity and increases resistance to thermal cracking by over 40%. Fixing screw kits: discs are supplied with all the necessary fixing hardware for simpler, more efficient and safer installation

Product Features:
