Dynamite Friction 4312-48018 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for GM Trucks and SUVs

Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 3000 Ceramic Brake Pads and Hardware Kit, part number 4312-48018, is a front disc brake kit built for select Chevrolet, GMC, Cadillac, and related GM applications. It combines coated rotors, low-dust ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one service package for a cleaner, quieter brake repair.

Key Features

• DFC GEOSPEC coated front rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• DFC 3000 ceramic brake pads for stable friction and low dust
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
• Rotors are machined to tight tolerances with a non-directional finish for smoother pad bed-in
• Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
• Part number 4312-48018 for front brake service on select GM vehicles

Product Details

The DFC 3000 ceramic pad formulation is designed for passenger vehicles and light-duty trucks, with consistent braking performance across a wide temperature range, strong fade resistance, and reduced brake dust. The pads are post-cured and scorched to help minimize break-in time and support immediate stopping response. The included shims are built to improve NVH control for quieter operation.

The GEOSPEC rotors are processed dry and ready to install, with a coating that helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. Each rotor is engineered to OE-style G3000/G11H18 cast iron specifications, then inspected for balance and critical dimensions. This makes 4312-48018 a practical choice for front brake service on Chevrolet Silverado 1500, GMC Sierra 1500, and Cadillac Escalade applications where OE-style fit and finish matter.

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

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Excess brake dust from older friction materials
• Longer stopping distances from worn front brake components
