Key Features
- Fits 1997-1998 Volkswagen Jetta, rear
- DFC GeoSpec coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pad surface for reduced initial break-in
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Hardware kit designed to OE-style form, fit, and function
- Part number 4512-74078
Product Details
DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware is a rear disc brake kit engineered for the Volkswagen Jetta platform listed above. The GeoSpec rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. Their coated surface is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the non-directional machined finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother stopping.
The 5000 Advanced pads use a post-cured friction compound and a scorched surface to help deliver stable braking performance from the first stop. DFC also pairs the pads with premium shims to help reduce brake noise and vibration. Part number 4512-74078 is a practical choice for rear brake maintenance when you want matched components in one package.
Common Brake Service Issues This Kit Addresses
- Rear brake noise during stops
- Rust buildup on worn brake rotors
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued hardware
- Longer pedal response from worn friction components
- Brake vibration caused by rotor surface condition
Installation Notes
Use this kit for rear brake service on the 1997-1998 Volkswagen Jetta. Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation, and replace any worn components that could affect pad movement or rotor alignment. Follow proper brake bedding procedures after installation to help the pads and rotors seat evenly.
Quality Assurance
DFC GeoSpec rotors are machined to OE specifications, 100% inspected for critical dimensions, and vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when required. Each rotor carries a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. Part number 4512-74078 reflects a complete rear brake service solution for the Volkswagen Jetta.
