Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface for smoother pad bedding, and built from G3000/G11H18 cast iron to match OE-style durability and stability. The dry-coated rotor surface helps resist rust and arrives ready to install without oil removal. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured for stable friction performance and assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise. This part number 4514-54005 is a practical choice for drivers servicing a Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, or Mazda Protege with a full brake refresh.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
