Detail Description
Ghost Rotors G3000 Economy Brake Kit — 2002 Mercedes Benz S500
Ghost Rotors G3000 Economy brake kits for the 2002 Mercedes Benz S500 deliver stronger, more consistent stopping than OEM components. Engineered for European and JDM performance — track-capable heat management, reduced unsprung weight, and floating 2-piece architecture where the platform demands it.
European & JDM Performance
Performance imports and sports cars need rotors that manage heat without adding unsprung mass. Ghost Rotors 2-piece floating kits use G3500 friction rings and 6061-T6 aluminum hats for thermal stability and lighter rotating weight — with carbon ceramic pads tuned for strong initial bite and low dust.
Drilled & Slotted Rotor Design
G3000 cast iron rotors with standard zinc coating. Diamond slots channel heat and debris away from the pad surface; cross-drilled holes improve airflow and reduce hot spots that cause fade.
Why Choose Ghost Rotors
- Vehicle-Specific Precision Engineering — Designed specifically for applicable models for exact OEM fitment, perfect balance, and optimal braking geometry.
- G3500 High-Carbon Friction Rings — Cast to G3500 metallurgy standard, our 2-piece friction rings provide superior thermal stability, reduced heat stress, and extended service life compared to standard G3000 zinc-coated OEM rotors.
- Diamond Slotted Performance Design — Engineered to maximize heat evacuation, maintain optimal pad contact, and reduce uneven wear without excessive pad degradation.
- Chamfered Double-Drilled Ventilation — Strategically chamfered holes improve airflow and cooling while minimizing stress cracking under high heat conditions.
- 6061-T6 Billet Aluminum Rotor Hat — CNC-machined billet aluminum construction reduces weight while maintaining strength under aggressive braking loads.
- Floating Stainless Steel Hardware System — Allows controlled thermal expansion between the rotor ring and hat to reduce warping and maintain consistent pedal feel.

Frequently Asked Questions
Here are answers to our most frequently asked questions. Have more questions? Check our complete FAQ page or contact us.
• Will this brake kit fit my 2002 Mercedes Benz S500?
Yes — this Drilled Slotted Brake Kit is specifically engineered for the 2002 Mercedes Benz S500. It uses a direct OEM bolt-on fitment with your factory calipers. No modifications, drilling, or adapters required. If you need fitment confirmation for a specific submodel, contact us at 818-445-2389.
• What's included in this Mercedes Benz S500 brake kit?
This kit includes front and rear drilled slotted rotors precision-cast from G11H18 high-carbon iron, plus Carbon Ceramic brake pads. Available as a Full Kit, Front Kit, or Rear Kit depending on your needs.
• Are these rotors good for track driving in a S500?
Yes. The drilled and diamond-slotted design channels heat, gas, and brake dust away from the pad surface — critical for sustained braking under performance conditions. G11H18 high-carbon iron provides the heat absorption needed to prevent fade on hard-driving vehicles like the S500.
• Do I need to replace my calipers on the 2002 Mercedes Benz S500?
No. This kit is precision-machined to work directly with your factory OEM calipers on the 2002 Mercedes Benz S500. Bolt-on installation — no caliper replacement, brackets, or spacers needed.
• How long will these rotors last compared to OEM?
Ghost Rotors are cast from G11H18 high-carbon iron — a spec that outperforms standard G25 OEM iron in hardness, heat resistance, and wear resistance. Under normal driving conditions you can expect 60,000–80,000+ miles. Aggressive track or towing use will reduce that, but still significantly outlasts economy replacements. Backed by a Lifetime Warranty.
• Can I install this brake kit myself?
Yes. If you're comfortable with basic automotive work — lifting the car, removing wheels, and unbolting brake components — this is a straightforward install. No cutting, welding, or custom fabrication required. See our Brake Rotor Break-In Procedure guide for post-install bedding instructions.
• Do you offer free shipping?
Yes. Slyde Over offers FREE shipping on all orders within the Continental United States. Shipping to Alaska, Hawaii, or international locations may require additional charges.
• How long does shipping take?
Typical delivery times: California: 1–2 business days, West Coast: 2–4 business days, Nationwide: 3–7 business days. Tracking is provided once shipped.
• Do Ghost Rotors come with a warranty?
Yes. Every Ghost Rotors kit includes a Lifetime Warranty against manufacturing defects — covering material or manufacturing failures under normal driving conditions.
• Are Ghost Rotors better than OEM rotors?
Yes. Ghost Rotors 1-piece drilled and slotted rotors are cast to G11H18 metallurgy standard; 2-piece floating rotors are cast to G3500 metallurgy standard — both GEOMET® coated. OEM and budget aftermarket rotors typically use G3000 iron with zinc coating, which has lower heat absorption, higher warp tendency, and inferior corrosion resistance. The upgrade in metallurgy and coating spec is the primary reason Ghost Rotors last longer and perform more consistently than factory replacements.
