Rear Brake Kit for GM Full-Size SUVs and Vans

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit, part number 4512-48117, is a rear disc brake service kit built for select Chevrolet, GMC, and Cadillac applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one package for a complete rear brake refresh.

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in
• OE-style rotor machining and balance inspection

DFC GEOSPEC and 5000 Advanced Brake Pad Details

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a rear brake job on vehicles such as the Chevrolet Tahoe, GMC Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished with a non-directional surface to support even pad contact and quieter stops. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured, scorched, and paired with premium shims to help maintain stable friction and reduce brake noise.

This part number, 4512-48117, is also a practical choice for rear brake service on Chevrolet Express 1500 and GMC Savana 1500 models where OE-style fit and corrosion protection matter. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Installation Notes

Confirm rear axle fitment and caliper configuration before ordering, especially on 2002 Cadillac Escalade, Escalade EXT, Chevrolet Tahoe, and GMC Yukon applications with Akebono rear calipers. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, so no oil removal is required before service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper slides, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post cured and assembled with premium shims, while the hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for OE-style form and function.
