The Story
Front Brake Kit for Audi and Volkswagen
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a front disc brake service kit built for OE-style replacement on select Audi and Volkswagen applications. Part number 4502-73098 combines coated rotors and advanced friction pads in one package for a straightforward brake service.
Compatible With 2009-2011 Audi A6 Quattro, front; 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro, front; and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton, front.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation without extra cleaning
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-spec durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for faster pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 100% inspected rotors, including balance correction on vented designs
- DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
- Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
Product Details
DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered as a complete front brake solution for drivers servicing an Audi A6 Quattro, Audi A8 Quattro, or Volkswagen Phaeton. The coated rotors are designed to resist rust better than conventional painted or zinc-coated rotors, while the precision-machined surface supports even pad contact and quieter operation. The pad formulation is developed for stable friction performance and consistent braking response across a range of vehicle applications. Part number 4502-73098 is a practical choice when replacing worn front brake components on these platforms.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Brake pulsation caused by worn or uneven rotors
- Reduced stopping performance from thin or heat-affected brake components
- Brake noise related to pad wear or poor pad-to-rotor contact
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Extended service time when rotors and pads are replaced separately
Installation Notes
Install on the front axle only for the listed applications. The rotors are shipped dry and do not require oil removal before installation. For best results, follow proper brake service procedures, inspect related hardware and caliper components, and complete a controlled pad bed-in after installation. Verify vehicle fitment by year, make, model, and position before ordering.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, checked for critical dimensions, and inspected to meet OE specifications. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. DFC lists a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship for the rotors included in this kit.
