Dynamite Friction 4512-73115 Disc Brake Kit - Rear

Rear Brake Kit for Audi A8 Quattro and Volkswagen Phaeton

DFC Friction part number 4512-73115 is a rear disc brake kit built for select Audi A8 Quattro and Volkswagen Phaeton applications. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and brake hardware to support consistent braking performance, quieter operation, and easier service.

Key Features

• Rear disc brake kit for 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton
• DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
• 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
• Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
• Non-directional rotor finish for smoother pad bed-in
• Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install
• Part number 4512-73115 for easy catalog lookup

DFC GEOSPEC and 5000 Advanced Line

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered with OE-style cast iron construction, tight machining tolerances, and a dry, coated surface that helps resist rust. The 5000 Advanced pad line uses a ceramic friction formulation that is post cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time and deliver stable friction from the first stop. Together, these components are designed for drivers who want a complete rear brake service on an Audi A8 Quattro or Volkswagen Phaeton without mixing parts from different systems.

What This Brake Kit Helps Address

• Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or stressed hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction material
• Brake vibration or rough pedal feel from worn rear components

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify rear axle fitment before ordering. This kit is listed for rear use only and is intended for 2004-2010 Audi A8 Quattro and 2004-2006 Volkswagen Phaeton applications. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. For best results, clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper condition, and follow proper pad bedding procedures after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Quality Assurance

Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to OE specifications, checked for critical dimensions, and inspected for balance on vented designs. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-73115 is built to support a complete rear brake refresh with matched components from one source.
