Frequently Asked Questions
What Mercedes-Benz models does the Brembo P50098 fit?The P50098 fits the 2012-2018 Mercedes-Benz CLS550, the 2012-2014 E550, and the 2017-2020 SLC43 AMG in the front brake position.
Is the P50098 a direct OE replacement?Yes. Brembo engineered the P50098 to the same friction specification and hardware standards as the original Mercedes-Benz factory pads, making it a true OE equivalent replacement.
Does the kit include all installation hardware?Yes. Every P50098 set ships with a complete hardware kit including anti-squeal shims, retaining clips, and lubricant for a full replacement.
Is this pad suitable for an AMG application like the SLC43?Yes. The P50098 is rated for the SLC43 AMG front brake system and is engineered to handle the elevated thermal demands of AMG-tuned powertrain outputs.
What is the compound type used in the P50098?The P50098 uses Brembo's premium low-metallic compound, which provides a balance of strong bite, minimal dust, and quiet operation across typical street and spirited driving conditions.
Do these pads require a bedding procedure?Yes. Perform 5-7 moderate stops from 35 mph and allow the brakes to cool fully before returning to normal driving to ensure optimal pad transfer and performance.
How does Brembo's P50098 compare to Akebono or Textar OE pads for these vehicles?As a direct OE supplier to Mercedes-Benz, Brembo's friction formulations are developed alongside the vehicle brake system, giving the P50098 a higher level of calibration than third-party OE-equivalent options.
Will the P50098 fit both the CLS550 4Matic and RWD variants?Yes. The P50098 covers both 4Matic all-wheel-drive and rear-wheel-drive CLS550 variants from 2012 through 2018, as both use the same front caliper specification.
Installation Instructions
- Raise and safely support the vehicle. Remove the front wheels.
- Unbolt the brake caliper from the knuckle and slide it off the rotor. Support it without straining the brake hose.
- Remove the old pads and clean all sliding surfaces on the caliper bracket.
- Apply the included lubricant to the bracket slides and install the new hardware clips.
- Seat the P50098 pads firmly into the bracket hardware.
- Compress the caliper piston(s) fully using a caliper piston tool.
- Slide the caliper back over the new pads and torque the caliper bolts to the manufacturer's specification.
- Reinstall the wheels and torque lug nuts to spec.
- Pump the brake pedal until firm before moving the vehicle.
