Key Features

• Front disc brake kit with DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors and DFC 3000 ceramic pads
• Designed for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks
• Low-dust ceramic friction with stable braking across a wide temperature range
• Post-cured and scorched pads for consistent initial performance
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Dry-coated rotors ship ready to install and resist rust better than conventional finishes
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter stops

Product Details

DFC 3000 Ceramic Brake Pads are formulated for reliable stopping performance, fade resistance, and low dust on daily-driven vehicles. The pads are post cured, then scorched to reduce break-in time and deliver stronger stopping response from the first stop. DFC GEOSPEC rotors use G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction, precision machining, and balance inspection to meet OE-style durability and stability targets. This part number, 4302-48018, is built for front axle service on GM platforms such as Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac Escalade models.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Excessive brake dust from older pad compounds
• Noise and vibration during everyday braking
• Reduced stopping consistency from heat-related fade
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
