The Story
Front Brake Kit for Ford, Lincoln
DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware, part number 4512-99049, is a front disc brake kit built for select Ford and Lincoln applications. It combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching hardware for a complete front brake service on the listed vehicles.
Key Features
- Front disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed, ready-to-install rotors with no oil coating to clean off
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads for reduced initial break-in and stronger first-stop response
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- OE-style hardware with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Line Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads line is built around corrosion protection, stable pad performance, and OE-style fitment. The coated rotor surface helps resist rust, while the ceramic pad formulation is engineered for consistent friction and quieter operation. This makes the kit a practical choice for drivers looking for a front brake refresh on a Ford Flex, Ford Taurus, Lincoln MKS, or Lincoln MKT.
Detailed Description
Part number 4512-99049 is engineered for front brake service on 2009-2010 Ford Flex, 2010 Ford Taurus, 2009-2010 Lincoln MKS, and 2010 Lincoln MKT applications. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The pads are 100% post cured and scorched to support stable friction performance from the first stop, while the hardware kit is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What It Helps Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Uneven pad wear or rotor contact issues
- Longer stopping distances caused by worn friction material
- Vibration or harshness during braking
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 2009-2010 Ford Flex, front. Fits 2010 Ford Taurus, front, without Performance Package. Fits 2010 Ford Taurus, front. Fits 2009-2010 Lincoln MKS, front. Fits 2010 Lincoln MKT, front. Verify rotor size and brake package before installation, especially on the 2010 Ford Taurus. Clean the hub mounting surface, inspect calipers and slides, and follow the vehicle manufacturer’s torque specifications during assembly.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are 100% inspected after machining, and vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when needed. Each rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
