Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. The coated surface is designed to resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated rotors, while the cast iron construction is machined for stable braking, even pad bedding, and smoother operation. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for consistent friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and harshness. The included hardware is built with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for OE-style fit and function.

This rear brake kit is a practical choice for drivers servicing Chevrolet Cruze rear brakes, Chevrolet Sonic rear brakes, Buick Encore rear brakes, or Chevrolet Trax rear brakes. If you are replacing worn rear rotors and pads on a 2011-2018 Cruze or related compact platform, 4512-45061 provides the matched components needed for a complete rear axle brake job.

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven rear braking feel
• Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction material
• Brake vibration related to rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes

Use this kit for rear axle service only. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation, and replace any damaged components as needed. The rotors are ready to install without oil removal or additional coating prep. Proper bedding-in after installation helps establish even pad transfer and consistent braking performance.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications and undergo machining and inspection checks for critical dimensions and balance. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-45061 is built as a complete rear brake service solution for compatible Chevrolet and Buick applications.
