Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses G3000/G11H18 cast iron and is machined to tight tolerances to match OE specifications for durability, reliability, and stability. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry packaging eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for consistent friction and are assembled with premium shims to improve pedal feel and reduce brake noise. This part number 4502-20022 is a practical choice for Jaguar XJ8 and Jaguar Vanden Plas front brake replacement work.

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Front brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
• Brake noise caused by aged pads or poor pad-to-rotor contact
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Extended stopping distances from worn friction material
• Uneven braking feel during routine front axle service

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 1998-2003 Jaguar XJ8, front and 1998-2003 Jaguar Vanden Plas, front. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which can reduce prep time during a standard brake job. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slide hardware, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. Verify rotor orientation and axle position before assembly.

Quality Assurance

Each rotor is 100% inspected for critical dimensions, and vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. The finished rotors are covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. DFC 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched to support stable friction performance from the first stop.
