• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-to-install rotor coating reduces prep time during brake service
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 100% post-cured brake pads for stable friction performance
• Scorched pad surface helps reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• OE-style rotor machining and inspection for dimensional consistency

Product Details

DFC built this brake kit for drivers who want a front brake replacement with matched components from one source. The GEOSPEC coated rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished to promote quieter stops and more even pad contact. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and reduced noise, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension. This part number 4512-74081 is a direct fit for select Volkswagen Cabrio, Golf, Jetta, Passat, and Quantum front brake applications.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Brake pulsation from worn or out-of-spec rotors
• Longer stopping distances from reduced pad friction
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes

Before installation, verify the vehicle’s production date for 1998 Jetta applications, since fitment varies by build date. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slide pins, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a front brake job.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor carries a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction behavior, and the hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction for OE-style fit and function. Part number 4512-74081 is engineered for Volkswagen front brake service on the listed applications.
