Front Brake Kit for Volkswagen Caddy, Golf, Jetta, and Bora

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front brake service on select Volkswagen applications. Part number 4512-74117 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware in one package for a complete front axle brake refresh.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated front rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in and more immediate stopping response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Rotors machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for smoother pad bed-in
• Front brake hardware included for a complete service package
• Part number 4512-74117 for easy identification

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which eliminates the need to clean oil-coated surfaces before service. The coated finish is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction is engineered to OE-style durability and stability. Each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions, and vented rotors are balance-corrected when needed.

The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for consistent friction performance and are assembled with premium shims to help reduce brake noise. This kit is a practical choice for Volkswagen Caddy front brake replacement, Volkswagen Golf front brake service, Volkswagen Jetta front brake repair, and Volkswagen Bora front brake maintenance. Part number 4512-74117 is also a strong match for drivers looking for a front brake kit with coated rotors and ceramic pads in one order.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion on daily-driven vehicles
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn or glazed friction material
• Longer stopping distances from worn front brake components
• Brake pulsation related to rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes and Fitment

Compatible With select front axle applications only. Verify caliper type and rear brake configuration before ordering, since some fitments list ATE, Bosch, Lucas/TRW, or TRW/Girling rear caliper notes and specific rear rotor sizes.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected against OE specifications after machining, and every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched, and the hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction for OE-style fit and function.
