Dynamite Friction 4512-73156 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Audi S4, S5, SQ5 and Q5

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit, part number 4512-73156, is a rear disc brake kit built for select Audi applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware in one service package for a cleaner brake job on compatible rear axle applications.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• OE-style rotor machining and inspection for dimensional consistency

Product Line Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are organized to simplify brake service by grouping the main wear components together. The GEOSPEC rotor line focuses on dry, ready-to-install coated rotors that resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated finishes, while the 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for stable friction performance and quieter operation.

Detailed Description

Part number 4512-73156 is engineered for rear brake service on 2008-2017 Audi S5, 2014-2017 Audi SQ5, 2010-2016 Audi S4, and 2013-2014 Audi Q5. The coated rotors are made to OEM-style cast iron specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished to promote even pad contact. The ceramic pads are post cured and scorched to support consistent friction from the first stop, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension. This makes the kit a practical choice for Audi S4 rear brake replacement, Audi S5 rear brake service, and Audi SQ5 rear brake repair.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn hardware or uneven pad contact
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Brake pulsation caused by worn or inconsistent rotors
• Reduced braking smoothness from aged pads
• Uneven pad wear on the rear axle

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With: Fits 2008-2017 Audi S5, rear; Fits 2014-2017 Audi SQ5, rear; Fits 2010-2016 Audi S4, rear; Fits 2013-2014 Audi Q5, rear. Verify rotor size and rear axle configuration before installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. Clean the hub mounting surface thoroughly and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pad and hardware components are built to OE-style form, fit, and function standards for consistent rear brake service on Audi S4, S5, SQ5, and Q5 applications.
