Product Details

DFC designed this brake kit for drivers who need OE-style fitment and balanced braking performance on the front axle. The GEOSPEC rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction, reduced break-in time, and quieter operation, while the included hardware addresses worn or corroded brake clips and springs that can affect caliper movement and pad wear. This part number, 4512-99156, is a direct front brake service solution for Ford Escape and Mazda Tribute models listed below.

What This Kit Helps Address

• Front brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear caused by aged hardware components
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Brake pulsation related to rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slides, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. Verify fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are 100% inspected after machining and come with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable performance, and the hardware kit is built to OE-style form, fit, and function. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
