Dynamite Friction 4512-40087 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Mitsubishi Lancer and Dodge Caliber

Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-40087, is a front disc brake kit built for OE-style service replacement. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matched hardware for a complete front brake refresh on select Mitsubishi Lancer and Dodge Caliber applications.

This kit is engineered for drivers looking for a front brake kit for 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer or 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber, with components selected to support consistent stopping performance, reduced brake noise, and improved corrosion resistance.

Key Features

• Complete front disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads help reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in
• Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install
• Part number 4512-40087 for easy identification

Product Line Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are coated to resist rust and are machined to OE-style tolerances with balance inspection on vented rotors. The 5000 Advanced brake pad line uses ceramic friction material formulated for stable performance, while the included hardware is designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for proper caliper movement and reduced wear-related noise.

Detailed Description

Part number 4512-40087 is a front brake service kit for 2008-2017 Mitsubishi Lancer and 2007-2012 Dodge Caliber models listed in the fitment data. The coated rotors are processed dry and do not require cleaning before installation, which helps streamline brake service. The ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched to support stable friction characteristics from the first stop, and the hardware kit addresses common wear points that can contribute to uneven pad wear, caliper movement, and brake noise.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear caused by aged brake hardware
• Longer brake service time from unprepared rotors
• Reduced initial braking consistency after pad replacement

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front axle service only. Verify rotor size, caliper condition, and pad fitment before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly, torque all fasteners to vehicle specifications, and follow a proper pad bed-in procedure after installation. For best results, replace brake components on the same axle as a set.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured for stable friction performance, and the hardware is built to OE-style form, fit, and function standards.
