Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Pad Set P/N:4000-0495-00
Designed for a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response, the Dynamic Friction Company DFC 5000 Advanced rear disc brake pad set, part number 1551-0495-00, is a low-metallic replacement for worn rear pads. It fits many vehicles, among them the 1999-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230, 1996-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280 and 1998-2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK230. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list and engine details.
When you press the brake pedal, the pads clamp against the rotor, and the friction turns the car's motion into heat to slow it down. Squealing, grinding, longer stopping distances or visibly thin friction material are signs the rear pads may need replacing. Replace the pads on both rear wheels at the same time for even, balanced braking.
Will these work as 1999-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230 brake pads?
Yes. This rear pad set is listed for the 1999-2000 Mercedes-Benz C230. It also fits the 1996-2000 Mercedes-Benz C280 and the 1998-2000 Mercedes-Benz SLK230.
