Front Brake Kit for Cadillac ATS

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front brake service on select Cadillac ATS applications. Part number 4512-46106 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware components in one service kit for a cleaner, more complete brake repair.

• Front disc brake kit for select Cadillac ATS models
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with dry-to-install finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• OE-style hardware kit with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother stops

Product Line Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line uses a silver-gray protective coating to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. Rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for stable friction performance, with scorched surfaces to reduce initial break-in and shims that help control brake noise and vibration.

Fitment Details

• Fits 2016-2017 Cadillac ATS, front, single piston front calipers; DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware
• Fits 2013-2015 Cadillac ATS, front, without Brembo front brakes; DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rotor rust and surface corrosion on the front axle
• Brake noise, squeal, or vibration during stops
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued or corroded hardware
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction material
• Poor pad bed-in after a rotor replacement

Installation Notes

Verify caliper type and brake package before ordering, especially on 2013-2017 Cadillac ATS front applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during service. Clean all mating surfaces, follow proper torque procedures, and complete a controlled bed-in process after installation. Part number 4512-46106 is intended for front axle brake service only.

Quality Assurance

DFC manufactures these rotors to OE-style specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron and a non-directional finish for consistent performance. Each rotor passes inspection for critical attributes, and the rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
