Bring quiet, low-dust stopping power to your classic Mercedes-Benz with the Dynamic Friction Company EURO 5000 Ceramic Disc Brake Pad Set (P/N 1600-0145-00, also written 1600014500). It installs as a direct-fit front-axle replacement for a long list of 1970s Mercedes-Benz applications, including the 1976-1979 240D, 1975-1979 300D, 1973-1979 450SEL and 1973-1979 450SL — see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
This front brake pad set supplies the friction material that presses against the rotors to slow the vehicle; worn pads commonly show up as squealing, reduced braking response, or a wear-indicator noise. The ceramic compound is engineered for a smooth, consistent pedal feel and low dust during everyday street driving. Replace the pads on both front wheels together as a matched set for even, balanced braking.
What vehicles does this brake pad set fit?
It is a front-axle direct-fit for many 1970s Mercedes-Benz models, including the 1976-1979 240D, 1975-1979 300D, 1973-1976 280 and 1973-1979 450SL. Check the Buyer's Guide tab for the complete list.
Is this a front or rear pad set?
This is a front brake pad set. It covers both front wheels; replace them together as a matched set for even, balanced braking.
What are the benefits of these ceramic pads?
They use an advanced ceramic formulation for European applications, offering low dust, excellent fade resistance, and stable friction across a wide temperature range for smooth everyday street driving.
How many pads come in the set?
The set includes the friction pads needed for the front axle of one vehicle. It is sold as a complete front-axle set.
How do I know when my brake pads need replacing?
Common signs include brake squeal, a wear-indicator noise, reduced braking response, or visibly thin friction material. Diagnose the cause before ordering, since other brake components can produce similar symptoms.
