The Story
Front Brake Kit for Cadillac CTS
The Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is built for front brake service on select Cadillac CTS applications. Part number 4512-46096 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one service kit for a cleaner, more complete brake job.
- Front disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-to-install rotor surface reduces prep time during brake service
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stops
- 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction
DFC GEOSPEC and 5000 Advanced
DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are machined to OE-style tolerances from G3000/G11H18 cast iron and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coating is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the dry packaging means the rotors are ready for installation without extra cleaning. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for modern braking systems and uses post-curing, scorching, and NVH-focused shims to support consistent pedal feel and quieter operation. Part number 4512-46096 is a practical choice for a front brake refresh on Cadillac CTS models that use standard brakes.
Vehicle Fitment
- Fits 2014 Cadillac CTS, front. DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware.
- Fits 2008-2013 Cadillac CTS, front. Disc Brake Rotor - Standard Brakes; DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware.
Common Brake Issues This Kit Addresses
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion on the braking face
- Uneven pad wear caused by aged hardware components
- Longer stopping distances from worn front brake parts
- Harsh or inconsistent braking feel during daily driving
Installation Notes
Use this kit for front brake service on the listed Cadillac CTS applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during the brake job. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before assembly, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s bedding procedure after installation for proper pad transfer.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is 100% inspected after machining, including balance checks on vented rotors and verification of critical dimensions against OE specifications. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. DFC also uses post-cured brake pads and OE-style hardware design to support consistent performance in service.
