The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Cadillac STS and CTS
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select Cadillac performance applications. Part number 4512-46086 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one package for a cleaner, OE-style brake service.
- Rear disc brake kit for select Cadillac STS and CTS applications
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with corrosion-resistant silver-gray finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother stops
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- Part number 4512-46086 for rear brake service
DFC GEOSPEC Rotor and Pad Line
The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is machined to tight tolerances and processed dry, so the rotors are ready to install without oil removal or extra prep. The coated surface is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports quieter operation and more even pad seating. The 5000 Advanced pads are post cured, scorched to reduce initial break-in, and paired with premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control. Part number 4512-46086 brings these components together for rear brake service on Cadillac STS and CTS models.
Fitment
- Fits 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, rear, 5 Lug Wheels; with Performance Rear Brakes.
- Fits 2006-2008 Cadillac STS, rear, 5 Lug Wheels; with Performance Brakes.
- Fits 2006-2007 Cadillac CTS, rear, Sport Suspension.
- Fits 2005 Cadillac STS, rear, Compatible with vehicles equipped with Performance Brakes.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Rear brake noise during stops
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
- Rotor rust and corrosion on exposed braking surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
- Brake vibration caused by uneven rotor finish or wear
Installation Notes
Confirm rear axle fitment, wheel configuration, and brake package before installation. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper slides, and replace worn hardware during service to help maintain proper caliper movement and pad contact. The coated rotor surface is processed dry and is ready for installation; the coating is removed naturally by the brake pads during use.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that its brake pads are 100% post cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and its hardware kits are engineered to OE-style form, fit, and function. GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, inspected for critical dimensions, and covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. This part number 4512-46086 is built for rear brake service on Cadillac STS and CTS applications.
