Dynamic Friction 4514-54160 Disc Brake Pad and Rotor / Drum Brake Shoe and Drum Kit - Front and Rear

Brake service kit for Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable

This DFC brake service kit combines coated rotors, advanced brake pads, drum shoes, and hardware for a complete brake refresh. It is built for direct fitment on select Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable applications, with coverage for front and rear service on the listed vehicles.

Key features

• DFC Geospec coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings.
• 5000 Advanced Brake Pads with post-cured friction material for stable braking performance.
• Scorched pad surfaces help reduce initial break-in time and improve stopping response from the first stop.
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.
• Rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished non-directionally, and inspected for OE-level consistency.
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors arrive ready for installation without extra cleaning.

Detailed description

Part number 4514-54160 is a DFC brake kit engineered around OE-style fit, durability, and braking consistency. The rotor casting uses G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification and a coated surface that helps protect against corrosion while simplifying prep work during brake service. The pads are formulated for controlled friction and smoother engagement, while the hardware kit uses corrosion-resistant materials to support proper brake operation.

For Ford Taurus and Mercury Sable brake repair, this kit brings together the major wear items in one package so the braking system can be serviced with matched components. The DFC Geospec rotor and 5000 Advanced Brake Pads combination is intended for drivers who want a complete brake job with parts selected to work together across the axle.

DFC’s product line focuses on friction and rotor components built to OE specifications, with attention to machining, coating, and inspection standards. Part number 4514-54160 is part of that lineup and is suited to routine brake replacement on the listed applications.

What this kit helps address

• Brake noise caused by worn pads or fatigued hardware.
• Uneven braking feel from aged friction components.
• Rotor corrosion that can complicate brake service.
• Reduced stopping response from worn brake pads and shoes.
• Brake vibration related to rotor surface condition or wear.

Installation notes and tips

Fits 2001-2007 Ford Taurus, front and rear. Fits 2001-2005 Mercury Sable, front and rear; rear drum brakes noted for the Sable application. Verify the brake configuration before ordering, since the listed fitment includes drum brake notes on the Mercury Sable.

The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during service. Follow standard brake service procedures, inspect related wear items during installation, and confirm proper bedding after the repair is complete.

Quality assurance

DFC states that the rotors are inspected to meet OE specifications and the kit components are built with attention to form, fit, and function. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
