DFC 17-18 Mercedes-Benz G550 4X4 Front Drilled Hi-Carbon Alloy Geomet Coated Rotor

If you're working on the front end of a 2017 or 2018 Mercedes-Benz G550 4x4, these DFC drilled brake rotors are a solid option. They're built to handle the demands of that specific vehicle, aiming to keep your stopping power consistent. The rotors are made from G3000/G11H18 iron castings, which are known for being strong and stable, helping to prevent warping under heat.

What sets these rotors apart is the attention to detail in their design. They feature the original equipment vane configuration, which is crucial for dissipating heat effectively. Too much heat can lead to brake fade, so this design helps maintain performance. Plus, they're precision mill-balanced to ensure a smooth feel at any speed, meaning you shouldn't experience any unwanted vibrations when you apply the brakes. The fine-turned finish, measured at 16 RMS, helps the new pads bed in properly for improved initial braking performance. For added protection against rust and corrosion, especially important for a vehicle like the G550 4x4 that might see varied conditions, these rotors come with a Geomet coating.

When installing these rotors, you'll want to pay attention to the specifications. The maximum disc thickness variation (DTV) is set at .010 MM, and the lateral runout is .050 MM maximum. These tight tolerances help ensure the rotor spins true and brakes evenly. While these rotors are designed as a direct replacement, always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for the most accurate procedure and any specific hardware or torque requirements.
