Dynamic Friction 4514-74044 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Volkswagen Passat

The Dynamic Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front and rear brake service on the Volkswagen Passat. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one application-specific package for 2012-2014 Passat models and 2015 Passat vehicles built through 6/30/14.

Key Features

• Part number 4514-74044 for front and rear brake service
• GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed, ready-to-install rotors with no oil-cleaning step
• Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• Brake hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• OE-style rotor machining and inspection for dimensional consistency

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are manufactured to G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications and machined to tight tolerances for durability, reliability, and stable braking performance. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional surface helps promote a more even pad bed-in. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. This kit is a direct-fit brake service solution for Volkswagen Passat front and rear brake replacement, and part number 4514-74044 is the reference to verify the correct application.

DFC brake hardware is included in the kit and is engineered to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement when replacing worn brake components. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion on daily-driven vehicles
• Reduced braking smoothness from worn or out-of-spec components
• Longer pedal response caused by aged brake service parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2012-2014 Volkswagen Passat, front and rear, and 2015 Volkswagen Passat, front and rear, for vehicles produced through 6/30/14. Inspect calipers, slides, and brake fluid condition before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly, torque fasteners to factory specifications, and follow the pad bed-in procedure recommended for ceramic friction materials.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is 100% inspected after machining, and vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
