Dynamite Friction 4502-20016 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Jaguar Vanden Plas, XJ6, XJR, XJ12, XJS

DFC Friction part 4502-20016 is a rear disc brake kit built for select 1995-1997 Jaguar applications. It combines DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with 5000 Advanced brake pads for a service-ready replacement package focused on OE-style fit, stable braking, and reduced prep time.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads in one package
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother stops
• 5000 Advanced brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction performance
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Part number 4502-20016 for cataloging and fitment lookup

Product Line Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line uses a protective coating that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc-style finishes. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected for critical dimensions before release. The 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for stable friction output and consistent pedal feel across a range of driving conditions.

Detailed Description

This rear brake service kit is engineered for select Jaguar rear brake applications, including Jaguar Vanden Plas, Jaguar XJ6, Jaguar XJR, Jaguar XJ12, and Jaguar XJS models from the listed years and chassis breakpoints. DFC Friction 4502-20016 is built to simplify brake service by pairing coated rotors with matched pads, helping restore braking performance with components designed to work together.

Compatible With: Fits 1995-1997 Jaguar Vanden Plas, rear; Fits 1995-1997 Jaguar XJ6, rear; Fits 1996-1997 Jaguar XJR, rear; Fits 1995-1996 Jaguar XJ12, rear; Fits 1995-1996 Jaguar XJS, rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Fix

• Brake noise during rear braking
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad bedding after rotor replacement
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn rear brake components
• Brake vibration caused by rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes and Tips

These rotors are processed dry and ready to install, so no oil removal step is required before service. The non-directional finish supports faster pad bed-in, and the coated surface is swept away by the friction material during normal use. Verify chassis number breakpoints before ordering for Jaguar Vanden Plas, XJ6, XJR, and XJS applications.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is manufactured to OE-style specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pad set is post-cured and assembled with premium shims to support stable friction performance and improved NVH characteristics.
