Product Details

The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware line is built for drivers who want a matched brake service package with OE-focused fit, finish, and performance. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The pads are formulated for stable friction, then scorched to reduce initial break-in time and assembled with shims to help control brake noise. Part number 4512-52036 is a practical choice for front brake replacement on 2005-2009 Buick Allure and LaCrosse, 2005 Buick Terraza, 2005 Chevrolet Uplander, 2005 Pontiac Montana, and 2005 Saturn Relay.

For consistent results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper pad bedding procedures after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
