Brake Kit for OE-Style Front Service

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service package for select GM full-size and mid-size vehicles from 1990-1996. Part number 4512-45035 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete front brake refresh.

Built for drivers looking for a direct-fit brake kit for Buick Century, Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and related applications, this package is organized to simplify front brake service while maintaining OE-style fitment and braking consistency.

Key Features

• Front disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Rotors ship dry and are ready to install without oil removal
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads are post-cured for stable friction performance
• Pads are scorched to reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
• Machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for smoother pad bed-in

Product Details

DFC designed this brake kit around OE-style requirements for durability, reliability, and consistent pedal response. The coated rotors are made from G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification material and are fully machined, balanced where required, and inspected for critical dimensions before release. The ceramic pad formulation is developed for stable friction across a wide range of driving conditions, making this kit a practical choice for daily-driven vehicles that need predictable front braking performance.

Part number 4512-45035 is a strong match for front brake service on 1990-1996 Buick Century, 1991-1996 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera, and other listed applications. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven or premature pad wear
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction components
• Brake pulsation related to rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front brake service on the listed vehicles only. Verify rotor size, brake package, and any notes in the fitment data before ordering, especially for 1990-1992 Buick Century and 1990-1992 Oldsmobile Cutlass Ciera applications with specific brake configurations. Clean the hub surface before installation and follow proper bedding procedures after the repair to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical attributes and that vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. The GEOSPEC coated rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
