Product Details
Dynamite Friction’s DFC Brake Rotor with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads is part of the DFC Complete Brake Kits line, which groups the rotor and pad components needed for a complete brake service. This kit is listed for rear position use on 1991-1996 Ford Escort, 1993-1996 Mercury Tracer, 1990-1994 Mazda Protege, and 1991-1992 Mercury Tracer applications. Some listings note front caliper casting number 22-14, so matching the caliper casting reference during brake service is important. Part number 6502-54233 is the reference to use when ordering or verifying the correct rear brake kit.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Addresses
- Worn rear brake pads causing reduced stopping performance

- Service needs on rear brake systems for Ford Escort, Mercury Tracer, and Mazda Protege models
- Brake maintenance when both rotors and pads need replacement together
Installation Notes and Tips
Confirm rear position fitment before ordering and verify the vehicle year, make, and model against the listed applications.

Inspect caliper condition, pad contact surfaces, and rotor mounting points during installation to complete the brake service correctly.
