Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered for dry installation and uses a coated surface that helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for even pad contact, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise. This rear brake kit is a practical choice for Pontiac G8 owners looking for a complete rotor-and-pad service package.

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

Common Brake Service Issues

• Rear brake noise during stops
• Rotor rust or surface corrosion
• Uneven pad wear
• Reduced braking smoothness
• Excessive vibration from worn brake components

Installation Notes

Install on the rear axle only for the listed Pontiac G8 applications. The coated rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, so no oil removal step is required before service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, verify caliper hardware condition, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is manufactured to OE-style specifications and undergoes machining and inspection checks for balance and critical dimensions. Rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
