Dynamite Friction 4512-46123 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Buick Cascada and Cadillac ELR

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit built for OE-style braking performance, corrosion resistance, and cleaner installation. Part number 4512-46123 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one package for select Buick Cascada and Cadillac ELR applications.

Key Features

• Front disc brake kit with rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-to-install rotor coating reduces prep time before installation
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stops
• 100% post-cured brake pads for stable friction performance
• Scorched pad surface helps reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for modern vehicle braking demands and are built with consistent friction characteristics for everyday driving. The pads are post-cured, then scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, which helps deliver stronger initial stopping response and a shorter bed-in period. DFC also uses premium shims to help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness.

The GEOSPEC coated rotors are made to OEM cast iron specifications and machined to tight tolerances. They are processed dry and shipped dry, so there is no oil coating to clean off before installation. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and more even pad contact. Part number 4512-46123 is a practical choice for drivers servicing a 2016-2019 Buick Cascada front brake system or a 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR front brake system without Performance Brakes.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction components
• Brake pulsation or rough rotor contact from aged front brake parts

Installation Notes

Fits 2016-2019 Buick Cascada, front. Fits 2014-2016 Cadillac ELR, front; 2016 Cadillac ELR, front, without Performance Brakes. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting surfaces before installation, and follow proper rotor and pad bed-in procedures after service. Confirm front axle application and brake package details before ordering.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. Rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
