Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads, part number 4502-45061, is part of the DFC Complete Brake Kits line, which packages rotors and pads together for a rear brake service. The GEOSPEC rotors use a coated silver-gray finish to resist corrosion better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the cast iron construction is machined to OE-style tolerances and finished for consistent contact with the pad. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction, reduced initial break-in, and improved NVH control through premium shims. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Problems This Kit Can Address

• Rear brake noise during stopping
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven or inconsistent rear braking feel
• Extended stopping distance caused by worn pads and rotors
• Brake vibration related to rotor wear or finish issues

Installation Notes and Tips

Compatible With 2022 Chevrolet Trax, rear; 2018-2021 Chevrolet Trax, rear; and 2018-2021 Buick Encore, rear. For 2018-2021 Buick Encore and 2018-2021 Chevrolet Trax rear applications, front pads with spreader spring tabs are required for installation. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, so no oil removal or extra rotor prep is needed before service. Verify axle position and pad configuration before beginning the brake job.

Quality Assurance

DFC machines the rotors to tight tolerances, inspects critical dimensions, and checks vented rotors for balance before release. Each rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
