The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Armada and QX80
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select Infiniti and Nissan full-size SUVs. Part number 4512-68028 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and brake hardware in one package for a cleaner, more complete rear brake service.
Compatible With rear brake service on 2011-2013 Infiniti QX56, 2014-2021 Infiniti QX80, 2017-2021 Nissan Armada, and 2022-2024 Infiniti QX80 and Nissan Armada applications.
Key Features
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction engineered to OE specifications
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Brake hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built for drivers who want a direct-fit rear brake solution with added corrosion protection. The coated finish helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry shipping process eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The rotors are machined to tight tolerances, balanced where required, and inspected to confirm critical dimensions meet OE specifications.
The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and quieter operation. DFC uses post-curing and scorching to help reduce the need for extended break-in and to support consistent stopping response from the first stop. The included hardware kit addresses worn or corroded brake hardware that can contribute to noise, uneven wear, and caliper movement.
This part number, 4512-68028, is a rear brake kit for Infiniti QX56, Infiniti QX80, and Nissan Armada rear axle service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Fix
- Rear brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on rotor surfaces
- Uneven or premature pad wear
- Brake pulsation from worn rotors
- Loose or fatigued brake hardware
Installation Notes
Install as a rear axle service kit on the listed Infiniti and Nissan applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready for installation, so no oil removal is required before mounting. Clean the hub surface, verify caliper hardware condition, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque and bedding procedures after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is inspected for critical attributes and built to meet OE specifications. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
