Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered as a matched front brake solution for 2011 Buick Regal, 2012-2016 Buick LaCrosse, 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for consistent pad contact, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The brake pads are formulated for stable friction output and reduced break-in time, with shims that help control brake noise and vibration. Part number 4502-45048 is a practical choice for drivers searching for front brake pads and rotors for Buick LaCrosse, Chevrolet Malibu, or Buick Regal service.

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

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Reduced stopping performance from aged pads
• Brake noise caused by worn friction material or poor pad contact
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer brake service time when replacing pads and rotors separately

Installation Notes

Compatible With front brake service only. Each rotor is processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a standard brake job. Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and position before installation. Follow proper brake service procedures, including cleaning hub surfaces, checking caliper condition, and bedding in the new pads according to the vehicle service manual.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for balance and critical dimensions, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched to support consistent friction performance from the first stop.
