The rotors use a coated silver-gray finish to resist corrosion, while the cast iron construction and precision machining are designed to match OEM specifications for durability and stable braking performance. The pads are post-cured to help deliver consistent friction, and the scorched surface reduces the need for extended break-in. This kit is a practical choice for a Ford Escort brake kit, Mercury Tracer brake kit, or Mazda Protege brake kit when servicing both axles.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePart number 4504-54005 is also a useful reference when searching for a front and rear brake kit for 1997-2003 Ford Escort, 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer, or 1995-1998 Mazda Protege applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eCommon Brake Service Issues\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrake noise during stops\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRotor rust or surface corrosion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUneven pad bedding after rotor replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced braking consistency from worn pads and rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVibration or harshness during braking\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eCompatible With front and rear brake service on the listed vehicles only. The rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before installation. A non-directional rotor finish helps promote a more even bed-in process with the new pads.

Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed, and every rotor is inspected for material and workmanship standards. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dynamite Friction","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52464340861109,"sku":"HBHR-4504-54005","price":192.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0628\/1442\/1173\/files\/DF_450454005_Kit.jpg?v=1777946330","url":"https:\/\/www.partcatalog.com\/products\/dynamite-friction-4504-54005-disc-brake-kit-front-and-rear","provider":"PartCatalog","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
