Dynamite Friction 4512-99011 Disc Brake Kit - Front

Brake Kit for Ford Ranger and Aerostar

Dynamite Friction DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-99011, is a front disc brake kit built for select 1986-1987 Ford Ranger and 1986 Ford Aerostar applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware in one service kit for a cleaner, more complete brake refresh.

The DFC GEOSPEC rotor finish is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings, while the dry-to-install surface reduces prep time during brake service. The 5000 Advanced pads are post-cured, scorched, and paired with rubber-steel-rubber shims for stable friction and reduced noise. Part number 4512-99011 is a practical choice for front brake service on older Ford trucks and vans that need OE-style fit and finish.

Product Details

This brake service kit is engineered around OE-style durability, stability, and fitment for the Ford Ranger and Ford Aerostar front axle. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required. The pad formulation is developed for consistent friction performance, while the included hardware addresses worn or corroded brake clips and related components that can contribute to noise and uneven wear. If you are searching for a front brake kit for 1986 Ford Aerostar or a front brake kit for 1986-1987 Ford Ranger, part number 4512-99011 matches those applications directly.

This part cross-references common brake service applications where a complete front rotor, pad, and hardware package is needed for the same vehicle coverage.

Common Brake Issues It Can Address

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
• Uneven pad wear caused by aged hardware components
• Reduced braking smoothness from worn front rotors
• Longer service time caused by uncoated rotors that require extra prep

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle production date and rear drum size before ordering, since Ranger fitment is limited to vehicles built to 9/86 and Aerostar fitment depends on rear drum configuration. Clean the hub face before rotor installation, inspect caliper slides and brake hoses, and follow the manufacturer’s bed-in procedure after installation. The dry-coated rotor surface is ready to install and the coating is removed naturally by the brake pads during normal use.

Quality Assurance

DFC GEOSPEC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications, processed through precision machining and inspection steps, and backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable performance, and the hardware kit is built with corrosion-resistant materials for consistent service life.
