Why are these brake rotors drilled?

The drilled holes help to vent hot gases and heat away from the brake pad surface. This can improve braking consistency and reduce the chance of brake fade, especially during repeated stops or heavy braking.

What is the black coating on the rotor for?

The black electro-coating is applied to help prevent rust and corrosion on the rotor surface. This is particularly beneficial for the front rotors, which can be more exposed to the elements.

Should I replace both front rotors at the same time?

Yes, it is generally recommended to replace brake rotors in pairs (left and right) on the same axle. This ensures even braking performance and prevents uneven wear.

Product Details

These R1 Concepts drilled brake rotors feature a black electro-coating that helps prevent rust and corrosion, especially important for the front right wheel which can be more exposed. The drilling pattern isn't just for looks; it helps to vent hot gases and heat away from the pad surface, which can lead to more consistent braking performance, particularly during repeated stops.

Built from a durable cast iron, these rotors are a solid option for your Mercedes-Benz GLE300D. The drilled holes are precisely placed to maximize their effectiveness in dissipating heat and moisture. This updated design helps to keep your braking system cooler under load, reducing the chance of brake fade and ensuring a more reliable stop when you need it most.

This rotor is designed as a direct replacement for the original part on your 2012-2018 GLE300D. It's a good idea to replace brake rotors in pairs (left and right) to ensure even braking performance. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for proper procedure and any required hardware.
