• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pad surface for reduced initial bed-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install
• OE-style rotor metallurgy and machining tolerances
• Part number 4512-73096

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware package is designed for rear brake replacement on the Audi S4. The rotors use a coated finish to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the non-directional finish supports even pad bedding and smoother stopping. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and harshness. Part number 4512-73096 is a direct-fit service kit for the rear axle.

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

What It Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation from worn rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pad and hardware components
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel from fatigued friction material
• Reduced stopping consistency during routine brake service

Installation Notes

Compatible With 2000-2002 Audi S4 rear brake applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during service. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before assembly, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedure for torque and bedding.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and the vented rotors are balance-checked during production. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. DFC pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction characteristics, and the hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction.
