Product Line Details

DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are engineered to OE-style cast iron specifications and machined to tight tolerances for stable braking and reliable fitment. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry-ready surface eliminates the need for rotor cleaning before installation. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for modern vehicle braking demands, and the included hardware is built to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from worn hardware components
• Reduced braking consistency during routine brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Fits 2001-2003 Audi S8, rear. This kit is intended for rear axle brake service and should be installed as a complete brake job with proper inspection of calipers, slides, and related wear items. The rotors arrive dry and do not require oil removal before installation. For best results, follow standard pad bed-in procedures after installation. Part number 4512-74093 is the correct reference for this rear brake kit application.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The kit is assembled to support OE-style form, fit, and function for the Audi S8 rear brake application. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
