The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Audi A4, A5, and Q5
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for select Audi applications. Part number 4502-73137 combines coated rotors and advanced friction pads in one package for a straightforward brake service on compatible rear axle applications.
Fits 2008-2016 Audi A4, rear; Fits 2008-2015 Audi A5, rear; Fits 2009-2012 Audi Q5, rear; and related Audi allroad and A4 Quattro applications listed below. Part number 4502-73137 is also referenced in service searches for rear brake replacement on these vehicles.
Key Features
- Complete rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Rotors ship dry and ready to install, with no oil coating to clean off
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- OE-style rotor metallurgy and machining for durability and stability
Product Details
DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are engineered as a matched rear brake solution for Audi A4, Audi A5, Audi Q5, Audi A4 allroad, Audi allroad, A4 Quattro, and A5 Quattro applications. The rotors use a coated finish to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc-style coatings, while the dry packaging saves prep time during installation. The pads are formulated for consistent friction, with post-curing and scorching used to reduce initial break-in and support immediate stopping response.
This part number, 4502-73137, is a practical choice for drivers servicing rear brakes on 2008-2016 Audi A4 and related models where OE-style fitment and balanced braking performance matter. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Problems This Kit Can Address
- Rear brake noise from worn pads or uneven pad wear
- Brake pulsation caused by rotor wear or thickness variation
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from depleted friction material
- Harsh braking feel or vibration during everyday driving
Installation Notes and Tips
Use this kit for rear axle brake service only on the listed Audi applications. Verify vehicle production date notes for Audi Q5 fitment before ordering, since some applications are split by build date. Clean the hub surface before installation, follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications, and complete a proper pad bed-in procedure after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for balance on vented designs, and checked against OE specifications after processing. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
