The Story
Rear Brake Kit for Audi A6 and Volkswagen Passat
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select Audi A6 and Volkswagen Passat applications. Part number 4512-74084 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware in one package for a complete rear brake service.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
- OE-style fitment and machining for select rear brake applications
Product Details
DFC’s GEOSPEC rotor line is built around OE-style durability and stability, using G3000/G11H18 cast iron and tight machining tolerances. The coated finish helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry-ready design eliminates the need to clean oil from the rotor before installation. The 5000 Advanced pad line is formulated for stable friction performance, with scorched surfaces to reduce initial break-in and shims that help control brake noise. The included hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement on worn rear brake assemblies. Part number 4512-74084 is a practical choice for drivers servicing rear brakes on a Volkswagen Passat or Audi A6.
What This Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven braking feel from worn or out-of-spec components
- Longer stopping distances caused by aged friction material
- Caliper movement issues related to corroded hardware
Installation Notes and Fitment
Fits 1997 Volkswagen Passat, rear.
Fits 1997-2002 Volkswagen Passat, rear; Mexico.
Fits 1998-2001 Audi A6, rear; Mexico.
Fits 1998-2001 Audi A6, rear.
Fits 1999-2002 Volkswagen Passat, rear.
Before installation, confirm rear axle fitment and compare the existing rotor and pad dimensions to the vehicle’s brake specifications. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect caliper slides and brake lines, and follow proper bedding procedures after installation for consistent pad transfer.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, and the hardware kit is built to OE-style form, fit, and function.
