Brake Disc Service — Malaysia Roads
Malaysia's speed bumps and potholes accelerate brake disc distortion. Mercedes-Benz uses cross-drilled or slotted rotors on performance models — these are more expensive (RM 300–600 per disc) but essential for maintaining performance. Standard models use solid/vented discs (RM 200–400 per disc). Replace when below minimum thickness (stamped on disc) or when vibration is felt through the brake pedal. Always replace in axle pairs. Use original MB or quality aftermarket discs (Zimmermann, Brembo) — cheap discs warp quickly in Malaysian traffic conditions.
