Key Features

The PowerStop EBR1454XR rotors incorporate several innovative features to optimize braking performance and durability:

• Constructed from high-quality cast iron for excellent durability and heat resistance, ensuring long-lasting performance under demanding driving conditions.
• Drilled holes and precision slots facilitate rapid heat dissipation, reducing the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving or towing.
• Slotted design helps remove water, dust, and brake debris from the rotor surface, maintaining optimal contact between the brake pad and rotor for consistent braking response.
• Vented construction enhances airflow around the rotor, further aiding in heat management and reducing thermal stress.
• Designed as a direct replacement for the factory rotor, ensuring a perfect fit and straightforward installation without modifications.
• Manufactured to meet or exceed OE specifications, providing reliable performance and safety standards.
• Suitable for street use, spirited driving, and occasional track days, offering a balance of performance and longevity.
• Part of PowerStop's Evolution series, known for their high-quality materials and innovative design features that improve braking efficiency.

Construction & Design

The PowerStop EBR1454XR rotors are crafted from premium cast iron, selected for its excellent thermal properties and durability. The drilled holes are precisely machined to ensure uniformity and structural integrity, preventing cracking under high-stress conditions. The slots are designed to optimize heat dissipation and debris removal without compromising the rotor's strength. The vented construction allows air to flow freely through the rotor core, helping to keep temperatures down during heavy braking. These design choices work together to provide a rotor that not only improves braking performance but also extends the lifespan of your brake system.

Performance & Sound

These drilled and slotted rotors significantly improve your vehicle's braking response by reducing heat buildup and maintaining consistent friction levels. The enhanced heat dissipation minimizes brake fade during aggressive driving, ensuring reliable stopping power when you need it most. The design also produces a distinctive, sporty sound during braking, adding to the driving experience without excessive noise or vibration. While specific horsepower or torque gains are not applicable to rotors, their superior heat management and debris removal capabilities translate into more confident and responsive braking performance.

Installation & Fitment

The PowerStop EBR1454XR rotors are designed as direct replacements for the factory front right rotor on your Mercedes-Benz CLS550 (2012–2018). Installation is straightforward for those familiar with brake system maintenance, as no special tools or modifications are required. It is recommended to replace both front rotors simultaneously to ensure even braking performance. Always follow proper brake installation procedures and torque specifications. For optimal results, consider replacing brake pads at the same time to maximize braking efficiency and rotor lifespan.

• Direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment
• No cutting, drilling, or special tuning required
