Dynamite Friction 4514-73040 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Audi S4 and S5

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Low Metallic and Hardware Kit is a front and rear disc brake kit built for OE-style service on select Audi applications. Part number 4514-73040 combines coated rotors, low metallic brake pads, and matching hardware components for a complete brake service package.

Compatible with 2012-2017 Audi S5, 2012-2016 Audi S4, and 2013-2014 Audi Q5, this kit is designed for drivers looking for a direct-fit brake replacement with corrosion protection, stable friction performance, and reduced noise characteristics.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray finish that resists rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings
• Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors that are ready to install without additional cleaning
• G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction engineered to OE specifications
• Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
• DFC 5000 Advanced low metallic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve stopping response from the first stop
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• Hardware kit built with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected for critical dimensions to support OE-level fit and function. The coating is designed to be worn away by the brake pads during normal use without harmful effects. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for consistent friction across a range of vehicle applications, including family sedans, performance cars, and light trucks. Part number 4514-73040 is a practical choice for Audi S4 brake replacement, Audi S5 brake service, and Audi Q5 brake maintenance when a complete rotor, pad, and hardware solution is needed.

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

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rotor rust and surface corrosion
• Uneven braking feel caused by worn or warped rotors
• Reduced stopping performance from aged friction material
• Excessive caliper movement related to worn hardware components

Installation Notes and Tips

Before installation, confirm rotor size, pad shape, and axle position against the vehicle’s brake system. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect calipers and slides for wear, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during reassembly. For best results, perform a proper pad bed-in procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical attributes to meet OE specifications, and all vented rotors are checked for balance. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
