The most effective means to accomplish a proper brake job is to replace the rotors, friction and hardware. DFC has simplified your shopping experience by creating brake kits designed to fit your needs without having to search out all the necessary components. If you are looking to retain your OE brake performance and increase your protection against rust related braking problems, DFC's Geo-Kit 5000 is the perfect kit for you.
Features & Benefits:
5000 series brake pads are made with application-specific materials to meet the demands of sophisticated systems in modern vehicles
Long lasting brake pads are designed to deliver a consistent pedal feel and superb brake response
Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims reduce noise, vibration and harshness
GeoSpec Coated Rotors are specially coated with a patented paint to form a durable and attractive silver-gray finish that fights rust better than other conventional paint or zinc coatings
Rotors are manufactured with G3000 iron castings to match OEM specifications for durability, reliability, and stability
Rotors are 100% precision mill-balanced for smoother stopping and zero vibration at any speed
Non-directional rotor finish promotes faster break-in and smoother stops
Includes application specific hardware to reduce noise/vibration and prevent premature wear (where applicable)
Installation Tips
Suspend the caliper from the suspension using a Caliper Hanger to prevent damage to the brake hose
Before installing the rotor, clean the hub face with a Wire Brush to remove rust buildup and apply Copper Anti Seize to prevent future buildup. Rust or debris on the hub can cause rotor runout and lead to wheel vibration
Apply brake lube to caliper pins, clips, the edges of the brake pad mounting tabs, and the back side of the brake pads to ensure noise free braking. DO NOT apply lube to the friction side of the brake pads
Use a Caliper Piston Compressor to retract the caliper piston(s) and make room for the new, thicker brake pads
Open the master cylinder reservoir during piston compression to prevent pressure buildup. Keep an eye on the Brake Fluid level to ensure it does not overflow
After the job is complete, pump the brake pedal several times to push the caliper piston back up against the pads to ensure proper brake function
