Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit with coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic pads, and hardware
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-to-install rotor coating helps reduce prep time during brake service
• Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
• Rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
• Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction

Product Line Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are organized to simplify rear brake replacement by combining the main wear components needed for a brake job. The GEOSPEC rotor line is machined to OE-style tolerances and inspected for balance and critical dimensions, while the 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for consistent friction characteristics across a range of vehicle applications.

Detailed Description

Part number 4512-74136 is designed for rear brake service on 2012-2019 Volkswagen Beetle, 2012-2018 Volkswagen Jetta, 2015 Volkswagen Golf, 2015 Volkswagen Golf SportWagen, and 2013 Audi A3 applications listed in the fitment data. It also includes specific rear configurations for 2013 Volkswagen Beetle with TRW/Girling rear calipers and 253mm rotors, 2012-2013 Volkswagen Jetta with TRW/Girling rear calipers, and 2013 Volkswagen Jetta with Bosch rear calipers. The coated rotors are engineered from G3000/G11H18 cast iron and finished to support quieter stops and more even pad contact.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn rear brake components
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Brake pulsation or inconsistent pad contact on service-worn rotors

Installation Notes and Tips

Use this rear brake kit on the exact listed applications only. For the 2013 Beetle, 2012-2013 Jetta, and 2013 Jetta configuration-specific listings, verify caliper type and rotor size before ordering. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, and the non-directional finish supports a faster bed-in process after installation. Follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake service procedures and torque specifications during assembly.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. The GEOSPEC rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit is built with OE-style attention to form, fit, and function.
