Dynamite Friction 4512-20032 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Jaguar XK8 and XJR

DFC part 4512-20032 is a rear disc brake kit built for select Jaguar applications, including XK8, XKR, Vanden Plas, XJ8, and XJR models. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware in one service kit for a complete rear brake refresh.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with coated rotors, ceramic pads, and hardware
• GEOSPEC rotor coating helps resist rust and keeps the rotor ready to install
• Rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances with a non-directional finish
• 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction and quicker bed-in
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce brake noise and vibration
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
• Part number: 4512-20032

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor finish is designed to provide a durable silver-gray surface that fights corrosion better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. Each rotor is processed dry and shipped dry, which eliminates the need to clean off oil before installation. The castings are made to G3000/G11H18 specifications and then inspected for balance and critical dimensions to support OE-level fit and consistency. The non-directional finish promotes even pad contact and smoother braking performance.

The DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction across a wide range of driving conditions. They are post cured, scorched to reduce uncured bonding agents, and paired with premium shims to improve NVH control. This kit is a practical choice for rear brake service on Jaguar XK8 rear brake replacement, Jaguar XKR rear brake kit applications, and Jaguar XJ8 or XJR rear brake maintenance. Part number 4512-20032 is also a useful reference when ordering the correct rear brake service kit for these vehicles.

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

Installation Notes

Rear brake service typically takes about 1.25 to 2.5 hours per axle. Because the rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, there is no need to remove protective oil before assembly. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation, and replace worn components as needed to maintain even pad wear and consistent pedal feel.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is 100% inspected after machining, including balance checks on vented rotors and verification of critical dimensions against OE specifications. DFC backs the rotors with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
