• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered to OE specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron, then machined to tight tolerances and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry packaging eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotors before installation. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for consistent friction across a range of vehicle types, including family sedans, performance cars, and light trucks. Part number 4512-20033 is a practical choice for drivers servicing the front brakes on Jaguar XJ8 and Jaguar Vanden Plas models.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by fatigued or corroded hardware
• Reduced stopping performance from worn pads
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from aged caliper hardware

Installation Notes

Front brake service on these Jaguar applications is typically completed as a standard axle-level repair. The rotors are ready to install out of the box, and the non-directional finish helps shorten pad bed-in time. Inspect caliper condition, guide pins, and brake fluid condition during service to confirm the rest of the system is operating correctly.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and the kit components are built to OE-style fit and function standards. DFC includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship on the rotors.
