The DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for consistent friction, and the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension. This part number 4512-73123 is a direct front brake service solution for Audi A8 and Audi A8 Quattro owners seeking a complete rotor-and-pad replacement.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Noise caused by fatigued or corroded brake hardware
• Reduced stopping performance from worn front pads
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from compromised caliper hardware

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With front axle service only. For 2000 Audi A8 and Audi A8 Quattro, verify chassis number 4D-Y-005-500 before ordering. The rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before installation. Clean the rotor friction surface during the normal brake service process, then follow the pad bed-in procedure recommended for ceramic friction materials. Inspect caliper slides and related components during installation to confirm smooth operation.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined, balanced where required, and inspected to OE specifications. Each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable performance, and the hardware kit is built to OE-style form, fit, and function standards.
