Dynamite Friction 4512-46098 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Cadillac CTS

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front brake service on select Cadillac CTS applications. Part number 4512-46098 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware in one service kit for a cleaner, more complete brake repair.

Compatible with 2008-2014 Cadillac CTS front brake applications, this kit is designed for drivers replacing worn rotors and pads while restoring OE-style braking feel. The DFC GEOSPEC rotor coating helps resist rust, while the 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction and quieter operation.

Key Features

• Part number 4512-46098 for front brake service
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed, ready-to-install rotors with no oil removal required
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother stops
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances and built to OE specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron. Each rotor receives a non-directional finish to support consistent pad contact, and vented rotors are balance-inspected and corrected when needed. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time, while the included hardware is engineered to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement. This part number 4512-46098 is a practical choice for Cadillac CTS front brake maintenance where corrosion resistance, fit, and stable stopping performance matter.

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

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear and inconsistent caliper movement
• Reduced stopping performance from worn front brake components
• Longer brake service time caused by pre-oiled rotor preparation

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper slides, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. Verify vehicle application before ordering, especially on 2008-2014 Cadillac CTS front brake jobs.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor passes 100% inspection for critical dimensions and OE-spec compliance, and all vented rotors are checked for balance. DFC backs the rotors with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-46098 is built to deliver consistent front brake service for Cadillac CTS owners seeking a complete rotor, pad, and hardware solution.
