Rear Brake Kit for Audi A3 Quattro and Volkswagen GTI

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for OE-style fitment and consistent braking performance. It combines coated rear rotors, ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware in one package for select Audi and Volkswagen applications.

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-to-install rotor coating reduces prep time before installation
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads help reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in and quieter stops
• OE-matched cast iron rotor specification and tight machining tolerances

Product Line Details

DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are designed with a protective finish that helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, with a non-directional finish and balance inspection on vented designs. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are post cured, scorched, and assembled with premium shims to support stable friction behavior and reduced brake noise.

Common Brake Service Issues This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven braking feel caused by rotor wear or corrosion
• Longer stopping distances from reduced pad friction
• Brake pulsation related to rotor surface condition
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm rear axle fitment before ordering, especially on the 2010 Audi A3 Quattro with 282mm rear rotors and TRW/Girling rear calipers. The coated rotors are shipped dry and do not require cleaning before installation. Follow standard brake service procedures, inspect caliper condition and slide components, and verify hardware seating during assembly.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are machined to OE-level specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post cured and scorched for stable friction performance, while the hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction for OE-style form, fit, and function.
