Dynamite Friction 4512-99014 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Ford Escort, Mazda Miata, Mercury Tracer

Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-99014, is a rear disc brake kit built for select Ford, Mazda, and Mercury applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware for a complete rear brake service on covered vehicles.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors ready to install without oil removal
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style 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, vibration, and harshness control
• Brake hardware engineered with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

This DFC brake kit is designed for rear service on 1994-2003 Mazda Miata, 1995-1997 Mazda Protege, 1997-2003 Ford Escort, 1997-1999 Mercury Tracer, and 2001-2002 Mazda Miata with normal suspension. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected to meet OE specifications. The pad compound is formulated for stable friction performance and consistent stopping response, while the hardware kit addresses wear, corrosion, and caliper movement that can affect brake feel.

Part number 4512-99014 is a practical choice for drivers looking for a rear brake kit for Mazda Miata rear brakes, Ford Escort rear brake replacement, or Mercury Tracer rear disc brake service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Uneven rear pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware components
• Reduced braking consistency from worn rotors and aged friction material
• Longer stopping distances due to degraded rear brake performance
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces

Installation Notes

Rear brake service on these applications should be performed axle by axle. The coated rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, which helps reduce prep time during the brake job. Follow the vehicle service manual for torque values, pad bedding, and caliper inspection before returning the vehicle to service.

Quality Assurance

DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and OE-spec compliance, with vented rotors balanced as needed. The 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 to OE-style form, fit, and function.
