Dynamite Friction 4502-40102 Disc Brake Kit - Front

DFC Brake Kit for Sprinter and Crafter Front Axles

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit combines coated front rotors and matched brake pads for service on select Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, Dodge Sprinter, and Volkswagen Crafter applications. Part number 4502-40102 is built for front axle brake replacement where OE-style fitment, corrosion resistance, and consistent pedal response matter.

Key Features

• Complete front disc brake kit with GEOSPEC coated rotors and 5000 Advanced brake pads
• Dry, ready-to-install rotor finish with silver-gray corrosion protection
• Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 100% post-cured pads for stable friction performance
• Scorched pad surface to reduce initial break-in time
• Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• OE-spec cast iron rotor construction with tight machining tolerances

Detailed Description

DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for modern vehicle braking systems and assembled with premium shims to help control brake noise and vibration. The pads are post-cured for consistent friction characteristics and scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, which supports stronger initial bite after installation. The GEOSPEC rotors use a coated finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc-style coatings and arrive dry, so there is no oil film to clean before service.

This part number 4502-40102 is a front brake kit for 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500, 2010-2013 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 1500, 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500, 2019-2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500, and 2008-2017 Volkswagen Crafter Van and Crafter applications listed with front axle fitment. It is also listed for select dual rear wheel and single rear wheel configurations where noted in the fitment data.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or poor pad-to-rotor contact
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn friction material
• Longer service time when rotors require extra prep before installation

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the vehicle’s brake configuration before ordering, especially parking brake type and rear-wheel setup on Sprinter and Crafter models. This kit is for front axle service only. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, and the non-directional finish supports a more even pad bed-in after installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC machines each rotor to tight tolerances, inspects critical dimensions, and checks vented rotors for balance before release. The rotors are engineered to OE specifications and include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
