Refresh the rear brakes on your 2003-2004 Mercedes-Benz C230 with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Kit 4512-63136, a complete rear-axle package that combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and the matching disc-brake hardware in one box. It's designed as a direct-fit replacement for the listed application with no modifications required — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine details.
GEOSPEC coated rotors: cast from the G3000/G11H18 iron specification and finished with a silver-gray GEOSPEC coating that fights rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. Each rotor ships dry and ready to install with no pre-degreasing needed.
Non-directional finish: machined to promote a faster, more even pad bed-in and quieter, smoother stops.
DFC 5000 ceramic pads: 100% asbestos-free and formulated for the axle to help maintain balanced braking, important for vehicles with ABS. They're post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in, and built with Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims for improved NVH. For everyday street driving they deliver low dust and quiet, consistent pedal feel compared with conventional semi-metallic pads.
Hardware kit: combines PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel, with rubber-coated abutment clips to help reduce noise and premature wear. Backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.

Does it fit my vehicle?
It's designed as a direct-fit rear-brake replacement for the 2003-2004 Mercedes-Benz C230. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
What is the GEOSPEC coating?
It's a special silver-gray paint finish applied to the rotors that fights rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. The rotors ship dry and install without any pre-degreasing.
Do I need to prep the rotors before installing?
No. Each GEOSPEC coated rotor is processed dry, shipped dry, and ready to install with no additional degreasing needed; the coating is swept away by the pads during use.
What are the ceramic pads like for daily driving?
The DFC 5000 pads are 100% asbestos-free with Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims for improved NVH, delivering low dust and quiet, consistent pedal feel for everyday street driving compared with conventional semi-metallic pads.
