Front Brake Kit for Volvo C70, S40, and V50

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a front disc brake service kit built for select Volvo applications. Part number 4502-99044 combines coated rotors and matched pads in one package for a straightforward brake service on compatible front axle setups.

Key Features

• Front disc brake kit with rotors and pads
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 5000 Advanced Brake Pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• OE-style rotor construction using G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification

Product Line Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line focuses on corrosion protection and installation efficiency. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry-ready design eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before service. The 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal response across the front axle.

Detailed Description

Part number 4502-99044 is a front brake kit for 2004-2013 Volvo C70, 2005-2011 Volvo S40, and 2005-2011 Volvo V50 applications with 320mm front rotors. It is built for drivers replacing worn front brake components on Volvo C70 front brake service, Volvo S40 front brake replacement, or Volvo V50 front brake repair. Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions to support OE-level fit and function.

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

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or rotor surface wear
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from depleted friction material
• Uneven braking feel during everyday driving

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front axle service only. Verify 320mm front rotor sizing before ordering, especially on 2004 Volvo S40 models with 5-lug wheels. Clean the hub face before installation and follow proper bedding procedures after service to help the pads and rotors seat evenly. Part number 4502-99044 is supplied as a matched rotor-and-pad kit for the listed front applications.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are inspected for balance and critical dimensions after machining, and each rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, with premium shims added for improved NVH characteristics.
