Mercedes-Benz SLK250 Brake Parts

Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are original equipment (O.E.) replacement brake pads designed for consistent, quiet and clean braking. Our brake pads are engineered by manufacturers that meet IATF 16949 certified framework, an internationally recognized proof of quality in the automotive industry. Carquest Premium Gold brake pads utilize application-specific friction formulations that provide extended pad life and cleaner wheels. These brake pads also feature OE-designed slots and chamfers for consistent performance. To prevent noise, our Carquest Premium Gold brake pads also utilize a multi-layer shim and are supplied with new brake hardware (most applications-see fitment notes). Carquest Premium Gold brake pads are the best choice when looking for brake pads that meet or exceed the OE stopping performance.

Product Features:

• Application-specific friction formulations provide shorter stopping distances and extended pad life
• Hardware included for most applications
• OE-designed slots and chamfers to reduce noise and vibration
• Multi-layer shim provides near silent braking

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

ATE Original brake pads provide quality friction just like the OE pads they replace, providing customer-pleasing brake performance. With the best mixture of materials on the market and a production process which emphasizes quality all the way through, original ATE brake pads represent the state-of-the-art. In order to prevent noise during braking, highly effective primary and secondary measures are both used on brake pads. Primary measures act directly on the point of friction. Here, the main issue is optimization of the materials used for the relevant parts. In many cases, ATE uses the most effective variant and the best primary measure for noise suppression in the industry: the intermediate layer or underlayer! On the other hand, secondary measures are intended to prevent the structure-borne sound which is produced from reaching the ear of the driver and pedestrians. Secondary measures can generally be divided into four groups: damping plates, damping foils, paints and greases. ATE works with over 150 different mixtures of friction material to ensure that the optimal result is always achieved for any particular application. The friction materials are always being refined and developed for this purpose. The pad material consists of various components which each fulfill different functions during braking

Product Features:

• OE engineered brake system technology assures optimum fit and performance

As an OE manufacturer, PEX brake wear sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part. This means technicians get the right part for the job, the part fits properly, and the brake wear sensor works correctly once installed. This insures that as the brake pad wears down, the sensor makes proper contact with the rotor, which breaks the sensor’s wire loop. Once broken, the car’s warning lamp is illuminated, alerting the driver that the brake pads have worn to a level in which they need to be replaced.

Product Features:

• PEX sensors are designed and produced to have the same form, fit, and function as the original OE part enabling easy installation and ensuring proper fit.
• Use of high quality materials specified by auto manufactures ensures durability and resistance to extreme temperatures, as well as excellent electrical performance and provides safety and performance for drivers and passengers.
• All PEX products undergo stringent and constant quality controls. We inspect virtually every aspect going far beyond the form, fit, and function. Our Quality Control includes heat tests; resistance; as well as pull force testing – just to name a few.
• Our newly designed packaging is both cost effective and “green” since it is manufactured using fewer natural resources reflecting our dedication to corporate responsibility
• As the leading manufacturer of electronic brake wear sensors, PEX offers the widest range of sensors in our peer group for both commercial and passenger vehicles.
