Restore factory braking with a Brembo Premium OE Equivalent Front Rotor (09.5373.20). Features UV-coating & high-carbon iron. Shop now for your classic Mercedes!
Bring back the precise, fade-free stopping power your classic high-performance Mercedes-Benz was engineered to deliver. The Brembo Premium OE Equivalent Front Brake Rotor (Part Number: 09.5373.20) is designed to meet or exceed original equipment (OEM) safety and performance standards. Developed specifically for heavy, high-velocity grand tourers and sport sedans like the legendary Porsche-built 500E and the elegant 300SL, this rotor delivers smooth, quiet, and predictable bite every time you touch the pedal.
Crafted using advanced high-carbon cast iron, these rotors absorb and dissipate severe thermal energy much better than standard aftermarket discs. This significantly minimizes thermal distortion, brake fade, and pedal judder during spirited driving. Additionally, each rotor features Brembo’s environmentally conscious, solvent-free UV coating across the entire surface—including the hub and braking plates. This metallic finish offers industry-leading protection against rust, moisture, and road salt while keeping your classic rims looking clean and upscale.
Every rotor includes an integrated fixing screw kit for an easy, worry-free installation. They also feature intelligent wear-marker branding, letting you verify the part number and minimum thickness at a single glance.
