Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line uses a silver-gray protective coating that is engineered to fight corrosion better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. The rotors are processed dry and shipped dry, which helps reduce prep time during installation. Each rotor is machined to OE-style specifications, then finished with a non-directional surface to promote even pad bedding and smoother braking. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for consistent friction across a wide range of vehicle applications, including family vans and light-duty vehicles. This kit is a strong fit for rear brake service on the Dodge Grand Caravan, Dodge Journey, Chrysler Town & Country, Ram C/V, and Volkswagen Routan.

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

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn rotors
• Longer pedal response from aged friction material
• Caliper movement issues related to corroded hardware
