Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered to match original equipment specifications and is machined to tight tolerances for consistent performance. Each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and, on vented designs, balanced for stability before release. The coated surface helps resist rust during storage and service, while the dry finish reduces prep time during installation.

The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for stable friction performance and reduced break-in time. DFC uses post-curing and scorching to help remove uncured bonding agents, and the pad shims are designed to support quieter operation. The included hardware kit is built to OE-style form and fit, helping restore proper caliper movement and spring tension.

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

Common Brake Issues This Kit Addresses

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Rotor vibration or inconsistent pedal feel from worn front brake components

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only. This kit is listed for 1992-1994 Audi 100, 1992-1994 Audi 100 Quattro, 1995-1998 Audi A6, and 1995-1998 Audi A6 Quattro, all in front position. Verify rotor size, caliper type, and vehicle configuration before installation.
