Product Line Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface for smoother pad bedding, and shipped dry so they are ready for installation. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise. This combination is intended for drivers servicing a Volkswagen Beetle or Volkswagen Jetta front brake system with a direct-fit replacement kit.
