Rear Brake Kit for Audi A4, A5, Q5

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select Audi applications. Part number 4512-73143 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware for a complete rear brake refresh on compatible Audi A4, A5, A4 allroad, allroad, and Q5 models.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic pads, and hardware
• GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
• Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install without oil removal
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and quieter braking
• 100% post-cured pads for stable friction performance
• Scorched pad surface helps reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• OE-style rotor machining and inspection for durability and fit

Product Details

DFC’s 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for consistent friction across a wide range of vehicle applications, including family sedans, performance cars, and light trucks. The pads are post-cured, then scorched to remove uncured bonding agents, which helps deliver more immediate stopping response. DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel to support proper caliper movement and reduce wear-related noise.

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

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel from worn or out-of-spec components
• Excessive vibration or harshness during stops
• Reduced stopping performance from aged rear brake parts

Installation Notes

Compatible With rear brake service on select 2008-2017 Audi A4, A5, A4 allroad, allroad, and Q5 applications. Confirm rotor size, caliper type, and production-date notes before ordering, especially for Audi Q5 and Mexico-built vehicles. Clean mating surfaces, inspect caliper slides, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is 100% inspected after machining, and vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. DFC states that every rotor meets OE specifications and includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-73143 is built for rear brake service where consistent fit, finish, and corrosion resistance matter.
