Product Details

The 4512-99022 brake kit is engineered for drivers servicing the front brakes on a Ford Thunderbird or Mercury Cougar. The coated rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances using G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The ceramic pads are scorched and post cured to help deliver stable friction performance from the first stop, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension. For shoppers searching for a front brake kit for 1993-1997 Ford Thunderbird or a front brake kit for 1993-1996 Mercury Cougar, this package brings the major wear items together in one application-specific solution. Part number 4512-99022 is also a practical match for 1997 Mercury Cougar front brake service without the Sport Package.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
• Reduced stopping consistency from worn front brake components
• Vibration or harshness during braking from aged brake parts

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, confirm the vehicle is a front application and verify the Mercury Cougar is without the Sport Package for 1997 fitment. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and guide pins, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during a standard brake service.

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Each rotor is inspected after machining to help ensure OE-spec dimensions and trouble-free installation. The 4512-99022 kit reflects DFC’s focus on matched rotor, pad, and hardware components for front brake service on Thunderbird and Cougar applications.
