Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is built for service work where rotor condition, pad consistency, and noise control matter. The coated rotors resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry packaging helps reduce prep time during installation. The 5000 Advanced pads are processed to stabilize friction performance and reduce initial break-in, with shims added to improve noise, vibration, and harshness characteristics. This part number 4502-45037 is a practical front brake solution for vehicles such as the Buick Park Avenue, Cadillac DeVille, and Chevrolet Impala.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake noise from aged pads or poor pad-to-rotor contact
• Reduced stopping performance from worn friction material
• Longer service time caused by oily, unprepared replacement rotors
