• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Line Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are packaged to simplify front, rear, or full-vehicle brake service. The GEOSPEC rotor line focuses on corrosion protection and OE-level machining, while the 5000 Advanced pad formulation is built for stable friction performance across a wide range of vehicle types, including family sedans, performance cars, and light trucks.

Detailed Description

Part number 4512-99150 is a front disc brake kit that pairs DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads and hardware. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected to confirm critical dimensions. The pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction response, and the included hardware is engineered to restore proper caliper movement and reduce wear-related noise.

This Ford Explorer Sport front brake kit and Ford Explorer Sport Trac front brake kit is a practical choice when the original rotors show rust, the pads are worn, or the hardware has lost tension from age and heat cycling. Part number 4512-99150 is built for a clean OE-style service replacement on the front axle.

What It Helps Fix

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Squealing or noisy braking from worn pads or hardware
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Excess caliper movement caused by fatigued brake hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Front axle installation should follow factory service procedures for the 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport and 2001-2002 Ford Explorer Sport Trac. Clean the hub mounting surface before installing the new rotors, inspect caliper slides and guide points, and verify pad seating after assembly. The coated rotor surface does not require prep before installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Each rotor is inspected for balance and critical specifications, and the brake pad and hardware components are built to OE-style form, fit, and function standards.
