Dynamite Friction 4512-45052 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Front Brake Kit for Impala and Saab 9-5

The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit built for OE-style braking performance, cleaner rotor protection, and consistent pedal feel. Part number 4512-45052 is engineered for select Chevrolet Impala and Saab 9-5 front applications.

This kit combines coated rotors, ceramic brake pads, and matched brake hardware in one package for a complete front brake service. It is a practical choice for drivers looking for a direct-fit brake repair on a 2017-2020 Chevrolet Impala front axle, a 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala front axle, or a 2011 Saab 9-5 front axle with a 321mm front disc.

Product Details

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are machined to tight tolerances and inspected for critical dimensions and balance before release. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and more even pad contact. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness. DFC hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during brake service. Part number 4512-45052 is a front brake kit for drivers searching for a front brake kit for 2017-2020 Chevrolet Impala, front, or a front brake kit for 2011 Saab 9-5, front.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake noise during stops
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
• Vibration or pulsation from worn front rotors
• Reduced braking consistency from aged friction material

Installation Notes

Install on the front axle only. Verify rotor size and brake package details before ordering, especially on the 2011 Saab 9-5 with 321mm front disc and the 2014-2016 Chevrolet Impala Limited G Body application. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation. Part number 4512-45052 is supplied as a front disc brake kit for direct brake service work.

Quality Assurance

DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for balance and critical dimensions, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware is built to OE-style form, fit, and function.
