Product Details

DFC’s 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated using research tied to OEM friction requirements across multiple vehicle platforms. The pads are post-cured for stable friction performance and scorched to reduce initial break-in time. The included shims help control brake noise and pedal harshness, which is important on daily-driven vehicles.

The GeoSpec rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. This helps support smooth braking performance on applications such as the 2021-2026 Chevrolet Equinox, 2021-2026 GMC Terrain, 2024-2026 Buick Envista, 2024-2026 Chevrolet Trax, and 2023-2025 Chevrolet Malibu. Part number 4512-45076 is also listed for 2020-2022 Chevrolet Malibu models with an electric parking brake.

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

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise, squeal, or vibration
• Uneven pad wear caused by worn hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction components
