Dynamite Friction 4514-54004 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, and Mazda Protege

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front and rear disc brake service kit built for select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda applications. Part number 4514-54004 combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matching brake hardware for a complete brake service on covered vehicles.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without oil removal
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability and stability
• Non-directional rotor finish for faster pad bed-in and smoother braking
• DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Brake hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction

Detailed Description

Part number 4514-54004 is a complete disc brake kit from Dynamite Friction designed for front and rear service on 1990-1996 Mazda Protege, 1991-1996 Ford Escort, and 1991-1996 Mercury Tracer applications. The DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for even pad contact, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions to support OE-style fit and function. The ceramic pad set is formulated for stable friction performance, while the included hardware is engineered to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during brake service. This makes 4514-54004 a practical choice for drivers searching for a Ford Escort brake kit, Mercury Tracer front and rear brake kit, or Mazda Protege disc brake kit with coated rotors.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware components
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn brake friction parts
• Vibration or rough braking from rotors that are no longer true

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1991-1996 Ford Escort, front and rear; 1993-1996 Mercury Tracer, front and rear; 1990-1994 Mazda Protege, front and rear; and 1991-1992 Mercury Tracer, front and rear. Verify caliper casting number 22-14 where noted in the fitment data before ordering. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which reduces prep time during brake service. For best results, follow the vehicle-specific brake bed-in procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are inspected for balance and critical dimensions, and each rotor is checked to meet OE specifications. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
