Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses a dry, ready-to-install coating that helps resist rust without requiring extra prep before installation. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions to match OE specifications. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time, while the shim design helps control brake noise and vibration. Part 4512-53012 is built for front axle service on Chevrolet Cobalt, Pontiac G5, Pontiac Pursuit, and Saturn Ion models listed below.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake pulsation related to worn front rotors
• Longer stopping distances from degraded friction material
