The Story
Front Brake Kit for Audi TT Quattro and Volkswagen R32
DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads and hardware kit, part number 4512-74014, is a front disc brake kit built for OE-style service replacement. It combines coated rotors, low metallic pads, and matched hardware for drivers looking for a complete front brake refresh on select Audi and Volkswagen applications.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit with coated rotors, 5000 Advanced low metallic pads, and hardware kit
- Fits 2004-2006 Audi TT Quattro, front
- Fits 2004 Volkswagen Golf R32, front
- Fits 2004 Volkswagen R32, front
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors are shipped dry and ready to install
- Rotors use a non-directional finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- Brake pads are post-cured and scorched to reduce initial break-in time
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help improve noise, vibration, and harshness control
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses a coated silver-gray surface to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the cast iron construction is machined to OE-style tolerances for durability and stability. The 5000 Advanced pad formulation is developed for modern braking systems and is assembled with shims that support quieter operation. This part number, 4512-74014, is a practical choice for a front brake service on Audi TT Quattro and Volkswagen R32 models where consistent pedal feel and clean rotor appearance matter.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Issues It Can Address
- Brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
- Longer pedal travel from worn friction components
- Reduced stopping consistency from aged front brake parts
Installation Notes and Tips
Compatible With front axle service on 2004-2006 Audi TT Quattro, 2004 Volkswagen Golf R32, and 2004 Volkswagen R32. Clean the hub surface before installation, verify rotor runout and pad fitment, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s brake bedding procedure after installation. The rotors are processed dry and do not require oil removal before mounting.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and the vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
