Brake Kit for Ford C-Max and Escape

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front and rear brake service on select Ford applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matched brake hardware in one package for a complete brake job on the 2013-2017 Ford C-Max and 2013-2016 Ford Escape.

Key Features

• Complete disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors ready to install without oil removal
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• OE-style fitment for front and rear brake service

Product Line Details

DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal response. The pads are post-cured, then scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, which helps reduce the initial bedding period. DFC also uses premium shims to help control brake noise and vibration during everyday driving.

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors are machined to tight tolerances and finished to OE specifications. The coating helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry-ready design saves prep time during installation. Each vented rotor is balance-checked and inspected for critical dimensions before release.

The included hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel to address worn or corroded brake hardware that can affect caliper movement and pad wear. Part number 4514-54142 is a direct-fit brake service solution for Ford C-Max and Ford Escape brake maintenance.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn hardware or pad shims
• Uneven pad wear caused by fatigued brake hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer brake pedal response from worn friction components
• Reduced braking smoothness during daily driving

Installation Notes

Fits 2013-2017 Ford C-Max, front and rear. Fits 2013-2016 Ford Escape, front and rear. Verify axle position before ordering and compare the existing brake components to confirm the correct service kit. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Part number 4514-54142 should be matched to the vehicle’s brake configuration before installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for critical attributes, 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, and the hardware kit is engineered with OE-style form, fit, and function in mind. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
