Dynamite Friction 4512-48158 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Select GM SUVs and EVs

DFC Friction part 4512-48158 combines GeoSpec coated rotors, 5000 Advanced brake pads, and matching hardware for front brake service on select Buick, Chevrolet, Cadillac, and GMC vehicles. It is built for drivers who want OE-style fitment, consistent pedal response, and cleaner rotor protection during everyday braking.

Key Features

• DFC GeoSpec coated rotors with a silver-gray protective finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
• Rotors are processed dry and ready to install, with no oil coating to remove before service
• Non-directional rotor finish supports faster pad bed-in and smoother, quieter stops
• 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce break-in time and improve initial stopping response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel for corrosion resistance and OE-style form and fit

Product Details

The DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware package is engineered for front brake service on vehicles such as the Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Blazer, Chevrolet Traverse, Chevrolet Equinox EV, GMC Acadia, and Cadillac OPTIQ. Part number 4512-48158 is built around OE-spec rotor casting requirements, tight machining tolerances, and inspection steps that verify critical dimensions and balance. This makes it a practical choice for a front brake repair where rotor finish, pad formulation, and hardware condition all matter together.

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 components
• Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
• Longer pedal feel recovery after brake service
• Vibration or harshness during light to moderate braking
