Dynamite Friction 7004-74000 Disc Brake Kit - Front and Rear

Brake Kit for Volkswagen and Audi Applications

Dynamite Friction DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums, part number 7004-74000, is a disc brake kit built for front and rear service on select Volkswagen and Audi vehicles with rear drums. It combines drilled and slotted rotors with matching drum components for drivers who need a direct-fit brake service solution for older compact and subcompact platforms.

Compatible With 1980-2009 Volkswagen Derby, Golf, Jetta, Fox, Quantum, and Rabbit Pickup, plus 1980-1983 Audi 4000 and 1981 Audi Coupe, this kit is aimed at vehicles that use rear drums and shoe kits or a rear drum set. The 7004-74000 package is a practical choice when replacing worn braking components on these applications.

Product Details

The DFC Rotors-Drilled and Slotted-Silver with DFC Drums line focuses on value-oriented brake service with OE-style fit and finish. For part number 7004-74000, the rotor casting is machined to tight tolerances, finished for smoother operation, and inspected to confirm balance and dimensional accuracy. The drilled and slotted surface is intended to improve initial pad contact, shed brake dust and road debris, and maintain more consistent braking performance in wet conditions. This makes it a relevant option for Volkswagen Golf, Volkswagen Jetta, and Audi 4000 brake repairs where front and rear components are being serviced together.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Reduced stopping performance from worn rotors and drums
• Brake fade caused by heat buildup in older braking systems
• Noise or uneven braking from glazed pads and contaminated rotor surfaces
• Poor wet-weather braking response on aging brake components
• Vibration or inconsistency from rotors that are out of balance or worn beyond spec
