The Story
Brake Kit for Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a front and rear disc brake service solution for 2013-2017 Buick Encore and 2013-2017 Chevrolet Trax models. Part number 4504-45013 combines coated rotors and matched friction material for a complete brake refresh in one package.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Rotors are processed dry and ready to install without oil removal
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction engineered to OE specifications
- Non-directional rotor finish supports faster pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 100% inspected for critical dimensions, balance, and machining quality
- DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built for drivers who want OE-style fit and consistent service performance. The coated rotor surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry-packaged design saves prep time during installation. The included 5000 Advanced Brake Pads are formulated for axle-specific braking needs and are prepared to reduce initial break-in time. This makes part number 4504-45013 a practical choice for a complete brake service on the Buick Encore and Chevrolet Trax.
Compatible With 2013-2017 Buick Encore, front and rear, and 2013-2017 Chevrolet Trax, front and rear. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven rotors
- Noise from aged pads and worn friction material
- Extended stopping distance caused by brake wear
- Uneven pad bedding after brake service
Installation Notes
Install on the front and rear axles as specified for the vehicle application. The rotors arrive dry and ready for installation, so no oil cleaning step is required before assembly. Follow standard brake service procedures, verify caliper condition, and complete a proper pad bed-in after installation for consistent results.
Quality Assurance
Each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, checked for balance on vented designs, and inspected against OE specifications. DFC backs the rotors with a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
