Product Details

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is engineered for OE-style service on the front axle. The rotors use G3000/G11H18 cast iron and are machined to tight tolerances, then finished with a non-directional surface for consistent contact and quieter stops. The coated finish is designed to fight corrosion better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry-to-install format eliminates rotor prep before assembly. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction and reduced break-in time, making this kit a practical choice for Cadillac XLR and Chevrolet Corvette front brake service. Part number 4512-46083 is a direct-fit service solution for these listed applications.

Common 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 pad friction material
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from aged caliper hardware

Installation Notes

Verify the vehicle’s brake package before ordering, since this kit is listed for 2005 Chevrolet Corvette with Z51 Package and 2006-2009 Chevrolet Corvette with Heavy Duty Brakes. Clean mating surfaces during installation and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque and bedding procedures. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
