• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads with post-cured friction material
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• Part number 4512-32025 for rear Mini Cooper brake replacement

Product Details

This DFC brake kit is engineered to OE specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction and tight machining tolerances. The coated rotors are designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional surface supports consistent pad contact and quieter stops. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. For Mini Cooper rear brake repair, 4512-32025 brings together the rotor, pad, and hardware components needed for a complete service.

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

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rear brake noise during stopping
• Uneven or premature pad wear
• Rotor rust and corrosion buildup
• Reduced braking smoothness or pedal feel
• Worn or fatigued brake hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With rear brake service on 2002-2006 Mini Cooper and 2007-2008 Mini Cooper. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during brake service. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting surfaces before installation, and follow proper bedding procedures after the repair to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. DFC states that the rotors meet OE specifications and includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
