The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Sprinter, Crafter, and Crafter Van
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit built for select Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz, and Dodge vans with single rear wheels. Part number 4512-40105 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware in one package for a complete rear brake refresh.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit for select 2007-2017 applications
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-40105
Product Details
DFC built this brake kit for vehicles that need OE-style fit, stable braking performance, and added corrosion protection. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and finished with a non-directional surface to support even pad bed-in and smooth stopping. The coated rotor surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, and the dry packaging avoids the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation.
The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post cured for consistent friction and scorched to remove uncured bonding agents. That process helps reduce the initial break-in period while supporting strong stopping response from the first stop. The included hardware is engineered to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement where worn or corroded original hardware can create noise or uneven wear. Part number 4512-40105 is a practical rear brake service solution for fleet and daily-use vans.
Compatible Vehicles

- Fits 2007-2009 Dodge Sprinter 3500, rear, single rear wheels
Common Issues This Kit Can Address
- Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed brake rotor surfaces
- Uneven braking feel caused by worn rotors
- Longer stopping distances from aged friction material
- Caliper movement issues related to corroded hardware
Installation Notes and Tips
Before ordering, confirm rear axle configuration and single rear wheel application against the vehicle listing. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which can save prep time during service. For best results, inspect calipers, slides, and brake hoses during the brake job and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque and bedding procedures after installation.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, with vented rotors electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors are backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-40105 is built to OE specifications for durability, reliability, and stable rear brake performance.
