The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Cadillac CTS and STS
DFC Friction part number 4502-46065 is a rear disc brake kit built for select Cadillac CTS and Cadillac STS applications. It combines DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with 5000 Advanced brake pads for a service-ready package focused on OE-style fit, stable braking, and cleaner installation.
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads in one package
- Fits 2003-2007 Cadillac CTS, rear, standard suspension
- Fits 2003-2005 Cadillac CTS, rear, sport suspension
- Fits 2005 Cadillac STS, rear, with standard brakes
- Fits 2006-2008 Cadillac STS, rear, 5 lug wheels, with standard brakes
- Fits 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, rear, 5 lug wheels, with standard rear brakes
- DFC GEOSPEC rotors arrive dry and ready to install
- 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured, scorched, and fitted with rubber-steel-rubber shims
DFC GEOSPEC Rotors and 5000 Pads
The GEOSPEC rotor finish is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry-pack format eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface for more even pad bed-in, and inspected for balance and OE-spec dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured for stable friction performance and scorched to reduce initial break-in time. This rear brake kit for Cadillac CTS and Cadillac STS applications is built for drivers replacing worn rear brake components with a matched rotor-and-pad set. Part number 4502-46065 is also a practical search reference when ordering the correct rear brake service kit.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Rear brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
- Brake noise caused by aged pads or uneven pad transfer
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
- Uneven rear brake performance during routine service
Installation Notes
Each rotor is processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. The non-directional finish supports faster pad bed-in and smoother operation after installation. Verify rear axle fitment by year, model, wheel count, and brake configuration before ordering, especially on Cadillac CTS and Cadillac STS vehicles. Part number 4502-46065 should be matched to the exact rear application listed above.
Quality Assurance
DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE-style specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and assembled with premium rubber-steel-rubber shims to support consistent braking feel and reduced NVH.
