Designed with performance, durability, and safety in mind, this set delivers reliable stopping power under a wide range of driving conditions.

Key Technical Specifications

• Diameter: 288 mm (Ø288 mm)
• Thickness: 25 mm
• Hole Pattern: 5‑hole design, Ø112 mm center bore for bolt mounting
• Ventilation: Internally ventilated to dissipate heat efficiently
• Material: High‑strength steel alloy with a protective coating that resists corrosion and wear
• Compatibility: OEM fit for Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class models from 2007–2014, including 1.6L, 1.8L, 2.0L, and 2.2L engines
• Package: Pair of discs (left & right) – a complete front brake disc set

Design Features That Enhance Performance

The internally ventilated design allows air to flow through the disc, reducing heat buildup during hard braking or extended driving. This ventilation keeps the brake pads cooler, extending their life and maintaining consistent friction.

A robust 5‑hole pattern ensures secure mounting on the hub while distributing load evenly across the disc surface. The Ø112 mm center bore aligns perfectly with standard bolt patterns for Mercedes‑Benz front hubs, guaranteeing a snug fit without the need for additional adapters.

The discs are finished with a protective coating that resists oxidation and wear. This coating also helps to reduce noise during operation, providing a quieter driving experience.

Installation Overview

1. Remove the existing brake discs: Use a caliper piston tool or a suitable pry bar to retract the calipers. Carefully lift the old discs off the hub.
2. Inspect the hub and rotor surface: Clean any debris, rust, or residue with a high‑pressure cleaner or brake cleaner. Ensure the hub is free of damage.
3. Mount the new discs: Align the Ø112 mm center bore with the hub bolt holes. Secure each disc with the supplied bolts and torque to the manufacturer’s specifications.
4. Reinstall the calipers: Slide the caliper pistons back into position, ensuring they are not over‑compressed. Reattach the caliper brackets and tighten all fasteners.
5. Bleed the brake system: Remove any air from the hydraulic lines to restore optimal braking pressure.

Performance Benefits

• Consistent Braking: The high‑quality steel alloy and precise machining provide uniform friction across the disc surface, resulting in predictable stopping distances.
• Heat Management: Internal ventilation keeps temperatures lower during aggressive driving or heavy traffic, reducing brake fade.
• Longevity: The protective coating and robust construction extend the life of both the discs and accompanying pads.
• Safety: OEM compatibility ensures that the discs meet Mercedes‑Benz’s stringent safety standards, giving drivers confidence in their braking system.

Ideal Use Cases

The Febi Bilstein 30556 set is perfect for:

• Daily commuting: Reliable stopping power on city streets and highways.
• Performance driving: Maintains braking efficiency during spirited driving or track use.
• Replacement after wear: A direct OEM replacement for worn discs, restoring original performance levels.

Maintenance Tips

• Regularly inspect brake pads and discs for uneven wear or glazing.
• Keep the braking system clean; avoid oil or grease contamination on the disc surface.
• Check bolt torque periodically to ensure secure mounting.
• Replace brake fluid every 2–3 years to maintain hydraulic integrity.

Conclusion

The Febi Bilstein 30556 Brake Disc Set delivers a blend of performance, durability, and safety tailored for the Mercedes‑Benz C‑Class family. Its internally ventilated design, precise bolt pattern, and protective coating make it an excellent choice for drivers seeking reliable braking without compromising on quality.
