Product Details

DFC 4514-46016 is engineered as a service kit for drivers replacing worn brake components on a Cadillac CTS. The coated rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Rotor castings use G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications and are machined to OE-style tolerances, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and consistent pedal response, while the included hardware kit addresses common wear points at the caliper interface.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded caliper clips or springs
• Reduced stopping performance from worn rotors and pads
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer brake pedal response from aged friction material

Installation Notes

Verify axle position and trim before ordering. This kit is listed for front and rear service on 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS Heavy Duty Brakes and 2014 Cadillac CTS applications. Clean the hub mounting surface before installation, follow proper torque specifications, and complete a controlled bed-in procedure after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor carries 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 built to OE-style form, fit, and function.
