Product Details

Part number 4502-54234 is part of the DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line, a complete brake kit designed to simplify rear brake service. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The pads are post-cured, scorched to reduce initial break-in, and assembled with rubber-steel-rubber shims to help control brake noise and pedal harshness. This kit is a direct-fit option for Jaguar S-Type rear brake replacement, as well as rear brake service on the 2004 Jaguar Vanden Plas and 2004 Jaguar XJ8. Part number 4502-54234 may also be searched as a rear brake kit for Jaguar S-Type and Jaguar XJ8 applications.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or rotor surface wear
• Reduced stopping consistency from heat-worn friction material
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer service time from rotors that require extra prep before installation

Installation Notes

Verify rear axle fitment against the vehicle listing before installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a rear brake job. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper hardware and guide components, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. This kit is listed for rear position only and should be matched to the vehicle’s suspension configuration where noted.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE-style specifications and undergo machining and inspection checks for balance and critical dimensions. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are built for stable friction performance and improved NVH control through DFC’s pad construction process.
