Product Details

Part number 4512-59117 is designed for drivers servicing rear brakes on Honda Civic, Acura ILX, Acura CSX, and Honda Prelude models listed in the fitment data. The DFC GEOSPEC rotor coating is engineered to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the cast iron rotor design is machined to OE-style tolerances for durability and stability. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for consistent friction, and the included hardware is built to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension during brake service.

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

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel from worn or out-of-spec rear components
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Caliper movement issues caused by corroded or weakened hardware

Installation Notes

Install on the rear axle only. The rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, which helps reduce prep time during service. Clean the hub surface before mounting, inspect calipers and slides for wear, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
