Product Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are designed to simplify front brake replacement by combining the rotor, pad, and hardware components needed for the job. The GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, processed dry, and ready to install without additional cleaning. They are made to OE-style cast iron specifications and finished to support quieter operation and consistent braking performance. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction characteristics and use shims that help reduce brake noise and vibration.
