The Power Stop S1876 brake calipers represent a premium performance upgrade designed specifically for select Mercedes-Benz models, including the 1999-2000 C230 Kompressor, 1996-2000 C280 Base, 1996-1997 E300 Base, and 1998-2004 SLK230 Kompressor. These front red calipers with brackets are engineered to replace the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers seamlessly, ensuring a direct fit and enhanced braking reliability.
Manufactured by PowerStop, a reputable brand in automotive braking solutions, these calipers are remanufactured in their Chicago, IL facility with a focus on quality, durability, and performance. Each caliper undergoes a rigorous 100% pressure test to verify piston operation and to guarantee leak-free functionality, underscoring the commitment to safety and reliability.
Key features of the Power Stop S1876 calipers include an electrostatic high-temperature red powder coating that not only provides an attractive finish but also offers superior resistance to rust and corrosion. This coating extends the lifespan of the calipers while maintaining a clean, professional appearance behind both stock and custom wheels. The kit is meticulously assembled using new pistons, seals, slide pins (where applicable), dust boots, bleeder screws, and stainless steel brake pad abutment clips to ensure optimal performance and longevity.
Additionally, the use of high-temperature EPDM rubber dust boots combined with premium silicone lubricant enhances smooth operation and durability even under extreme driving conditions. This attention to detail results in a brake caliper that delivers consistent stopping power and reliability, essential for maintaining vehicle safety and performance standards.
PowerStop’s dedication to quality and innovation is evident in this product, which is designed to meet the demands of automotive enthusiasts and professionals alike. The bright red finish not only improves the aesthetic appeal of the braking system but also signifies the high-performance capabilities of this upgrade.
