Product Details

DFC Brake Rotor - Drilled and Slotted - Black with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware Kit is built for front axle brake service on select 2012-2020 Volkswagen Passat, 2014-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan, 2017-2018 Volkswagen Tiguan Limited, 2015-2018 Audi Q3, and 2015-2018 Audi Q3 Quattro applications. The drilled and slotted rotor design helps support consistent braking performance by promoting heat dissipation and maintaining pad contact across repeated stops. The ceramic pad formulation is suited for drivers looking for controlled braking response and reduced brake dust compared with many conventional friction materials. Part number 8512-74088 is a practical choice when replacing worn front brake components on these platforms.

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

What It Helps Address

• Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
• Reduced stopping performance caused by aged pads and rotors
• Noise from brake components nearing service limits
• Heat buildup during repeated braking
• Dust accumulation from worn friction material
