Detailed Product Overview

Part number 4512-45049 is engineered for drivers servicing the front brakes on 2011-2016 Buick LaCrosse, 2011-2015 Buick Regal, 2013-2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Limited. This front brake kit is designed to simplify brake service by pairing the rotor, pad, and hardware components needed for a complete front axle repair in one package.

The coated rotors are processed dry and shipped dry, which helps reduce prep time during installation. Their non-directional finish supports even pad contact and quieter operation, while the coating helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. The 5000 Advanced pads are built for consistent friction and smoother everyday braking, making this kit a practical choice for daily-driven sedans.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn rotor faces
• Extended stopping distance from depleted friction material
• Caliper movement issues related to aged brake hardware
