Product Details

DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is engineered to OE specifications using G3000/G11H18 cast iron, then machined to tight tolerances and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The coated surface helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional finish supports smoother braking performance. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction and consistent pedal feel, with shims added to help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness. This front brake kit is a practical choice for Audi Q5 brake service when you want matched rotor and pad components in one package. Part number 4512-73169 is also a useful reference when searching for an Audi Q5 front brake kit or Audi Q5 Sportback front brake kit.

Common Brake Issues This Kit Can Address

• Brake noise during stops
