Dynamite Friction 4512-74152 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Volkswagen and Audi

Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-74152, is a front disc brake kit built for select Volkswagen and Audi applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching brake hardware in one service package for a complete front brake refresh.

Compatible With 2012-2020 Volkswagen Passat front, 2014-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan front, 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited front, and 2015-2018 Audi Q3 front applications. Part number 4512-74152 is also listed for Audi Q3 Quattro front fitment in the same model years.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• OEM-spec cast iron construction for durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
• Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is machined to tight tolerances and inspected for critical dimensions, balance, and OE-level consistency. The coated surface is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter stops and more uniform pad contact. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with NVH-focused shims to help reduce brake noise and harshness. The included hardware kit addresses worn or corroded brake clips and related components that can affect caliper movement and pad wear.

This part number, 4512-74152, is a direct front brake service solution for drivers searching for a Volkswagen Passat front brake kit, Volkswagen Tiguan front brake kit, or Audi Q3 front disc brake kit with coated rotors and ceramic pads.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Brake noise during stops
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
• Reduced braking smoothness from worn rotors
• Longer pedal feel changes caused by aged front brake components

Installation Notes

Front axle service on these applications typically takes about 1.25 to 2.5 hours per axle. The rotors are shipped dry and do not require cleaning before installation. Follow vehicle-specific torque specs, inspect calipers and slide pins during service, and verify exact fitment by year, make, model, and production notes before installation. For example, some 2015 Volkswagen Passat and 2018 Tiguan/Tiguan Limited applications have production or market-specific notes that must be matched correctly.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for balance and critical dimensions, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit is engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
