Product Details

DFC built this brake kit for drivers who want OE-style fitment and consistent braking performance on front axle service. The GEOSPEC rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust, while the non-directional finish supports quicker pad bedding and quieter operation. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and vibration. Part number 4512-73118 is a practical choice for Audi A4 front brake replacement, Audi A6 front brake service, and Volkswagen Passat front brake repair.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake rotor wear and reduced stopping performance
• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad contact during brake service
• Excess caliper movement caused by aged hardware
