If your vehicle is in need of brakes, installing new Mercedes 300 brake rotors is a good idea and will give you greater stopping power and less brake fade. Shorter stopping distances and better cooling are just a couple of the benefits of replacing your Mercedes 300 rotors, not to mention the sporty look of drilled or slotted rotors peeking from behind your wheel spokes. When you're replacing your brake pads, consider going with new rotors as well in order to maximize your Mercedes 300 braking potential.

Although Mercedes 300 performance brake rotors have become popular over the past few years, there are some considerations to make before choosing which ones to install. Cross-drilled rotors are an excellent choice for street-driven vehicles, as they dissipate heat quickly and keep the rotor surface clean. However, using cross-drilled rotors in extreme racing conditions can cause cracking, which is why slotted Mercedes 300 rotors have become the preferred choice for track use. If you're considering slotted rotors for the street, they may be a good bet so long as you don't mind changing your brake pads more often. We also offer Mercedes 300 rotors that are drilled and slotted, which is another good option for the street.

Q: How do you install rotors?
A: Rotors are installed by removing the entire brake assembly and caliper. Once removed, the factory rotor is taken off and the aftermarket rotor is installed. Everything is re-installed back together. Installing new brake pads is usually done at the same time rotors are being replaced.

Q: Do rotors come in sets of 4?
A: Rotors are sold individually, per side, unless otherwise noted on our website. Rotors should normally be replaced in sets of two; you should buy 2 rotors for the front, or 2 rotors for the rear, or all 4 at once.

Q: What are brake rotors?
A: Rotors are the flat disk-like plates that provide friction for the brake pads to slow down your car. Some rotors have cooling fins between both faces are called "vented" rotors, or drilled which are called "cross-drilled" rotors. Replacing your factory rotors with aftermarket rotors will improve your braking power, which can be a high priority if you add performance parts to your car. You don't want to beef up the performance of your car without also improving your stopping power.
