Dynamite Friction 7004-54231 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit for Classic Ford and Mercury

Dynamite Friction DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums, part number 7004-54231, is a disc brake kit built for front and rear service on select rear-drum Ford and Mercury vehicles. It combines drilled and slotted rotors with matched drum components to support shorter stopping distances, improved heat control, and cleaner pad contact in wet or debris-prone driving.

Key Features

• Drilled and slotted rotor design for added pad bite and debris clearing
• Drilled holes help reduce heat buildup during repeated braking
• Slots help remove brake dust and road debris while reducing pad glazing
• GEOSPEC coated rotor construction for corrosion resistance and OE-style durability
• Machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for smoother bed-in
• 100% inspected for balance and critical dimensions
• Part number 7004-54231 for easy ordering and catalog matching

Product Details

The DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums line focuses on OE-style fit, stable braking performance, and consistent machining quality. Rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 iron specifications, then finished with balance correction and final inspection to help deliver quiet operation and even pad bedding. This setup is a practical choice for drivers restoring braking performance on a Ford Mustang, Ford Thunderbird, Mercury Cougar, or Mercury Capri with rear drums and shoe kit equipment. The 7004-54231 kit is also listed for Ford LTD, Mercury Marquis, Ford Fairmont, and Mercury Zephyr applications.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Longer stopping distances caused by worn or heat-soaked rotors
• Brake fade from repeated stops and elevated rotor temperatures
• Rotor vibration or uneven braking from inconsistent wear
• Pad glazing and noisy pad contact from debris buildup
• Corrosion and surface wear on aging brake components
