Blank, cross-drilled, slotted or created especially for performance use. 4 different ways to be part of the Brembo world by simply replacing the discs on your Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171)

Despite its years, you still love your Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171) as much as the first day you saw it. Update your brakes to bring back the braking performance you were once used to!
The choice is much harder than it seems, with so many different products and brands out there. There are brands that have only been around for a short while, and others that continue to set the standard for innovation. This is why it's important to choose a leading brand like Brembo, with its unmatched experience as a partner to the world's most prestigious car manufacturers for over 50 years.
Boasting a catalogue covering 98% of all cars on the road today, Brembo proposes 4 different types of disc to update the brakes on your Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171). When you change the discs on your car, the pads are just as important! Worn pads could actually damage your new Brembo discs.

Brembo Original

Undrilled and without slots, Brembo Original disks are the simplest solution for replacing the worn disks on your car with quality products. The undrilled, unslotted rotors of these disks offer a comfortable drive and increased brake pad life.
Brembo Original disks are the right solution for owners who want to fit their Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171) with the same disks it had when it left the factory.
An undrilled, unslotted rotor does not necessarily mean a simple disc. Depending on the specific car model, the Brembo brake discs of this range may also feature a number of stand-out characteristics such as UV paint treatment, pillar vented technology or high carbon cast iron.
PVT Pillar Vented Technology: your new Brembo disks feature innovative pillar ventilation technology developed and patented by Brembo, which makes them even more resistant to cracking phenomena caused by high temperatures.
High Carbon: the high percentage of carbon in the chemical make up of the cast iron used reduces the vibration and noise perceived on board the car.
UV paint treatment: these discs feature a metallic effect finish which makes them more corrosion resistant, brighter and more elegant.

Brembo Xtra

Want to give your Mercedes-Benz SLK (R171) a set of new, higher performance disks? Brembo recommends cross-drilled disks.
Eye-catching style and impeccable performance in all conditions are the essence of Brembo Xtra disks.
What make this possible are the holes in the brake rotor, which maximize disk/pad grip in high temperature conditions right from the first instant you press the pedal, and even in the wet. The holes also have a scraping action which removes potentially dangerous fragments of debris accumulating on the surface of the pad. The cross-drilled rotor allows heat and gas to escape more effectively, improving performance.
Not only will you love them but those you meet along the road will too, as they notice the special UV paint finish.

Brembo Max

Slotted discs are another solution for maximising the responsiveness of your brake system.

Brembo Max disks are the ideal choice for the driver who demands responsive power and performance right from the start of braking.
Dreaded brake pad glazing will never be an issue again, as the slots cut into the rotor refresh the friction material on the surface of the pad every time you brake.

Brembo's engineers have come up with another inventive idea, and included an additional slot in the surface of Brembo Max disks which indicates if the disk is about to exceed or has already exceeded the ,maximum safe wear limit.
This wear indicator slot means that no special skills are needed to understand when it's time to replace the brake discs on your car.
