Dynamite Friction 4514-63001 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Mercedes-Benz Front and Rear Service

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Low Metallic and Hardware Kit is a complete disc brake kit for select Mercedes-Benz applications. It combines coated rotors, low metallic brake pads, and matched brake hardware for front and rear service on supported 1979-1985 Mercedes-Benz models.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced low metallic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pad surface for reduced break-in time and initial stopping response
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Hardware kit built with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• Part number 4514-63001

Product Line Details

DFC Complete Brake Kits are built to simplify brake service by combining rotors, pads, and hardware in one package. The GEOSPEC rotor line focuses on OE-style fit, dry installation, and corrosion protection, while the 5000 Advanced pad line uses low metallic friction material for stable braking performance and controlled noise characteristics. This combination is suited for drivers restoring braking performance on older Mercedes-Benz vehicles.

What It Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads, fatigued hardware, or uneven rotor surfaces
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer pedal response caused by aged friction material
• Uneven pad wear from stressed or corroded brake hardware
• Reduced braking consistency during routine Mercedes-Benz brake service

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm caliper type and production date before ordering, especially on 1979 and 1985 Mercedes-Benz 300SD applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. For best results, clean all mating surfaces, inspect caliper condition, and follow a proper pad bed-in procedure after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. Each rotor is covered by 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 engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function.
