Front Brake Kit for Escape, Mariner, and Tribute
The Dynamite Friction DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware kit is a front disc brake service kit for select Ford, Mercury, and Mazda applications. Part number 4512-99178 combines coated rotors, advanced friction pads, and matching hardware for a complete front brake refresh.
Compatible With 2008-2012 Ford Escape front, 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner front, and 2008-2009 Mazda Tribute front applications, this kit is built for OE-style fitment and consistent braking performance.
Key Features
- DFC GeoSpec coated brake rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors that are ready to install without additional cleaning
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother stops
- DFC 5000 Advanced Brake Pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time and improve first-stop response
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH control
- Hardware designed with PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
DFC Geospec Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads includes Hardware, part number 4512-99178, is engineered for front axle service on the Ford Escape, Mercury Mariner, and Mazda Tribute. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, finished for quieter operation, and inspected for balance and critical dimensions. The brake pads are formulated for stable friction performance and assembled with shims to help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness. This front brake kit is a practical choice when replacing worn rotors, pads, and related hardware at the same time.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Issues This Kit Can Address
- Brake pulsation from worn or uneven front rotors
- Squealing or grinding caused by depleted brake pads
- Corrosion on rotor surfaces and brake hardware
- Uneven pad wear from fatigued or seized hardware
- Noise, vibration, or harshness during braking
Installation Notes
Fits 2008-2012 Ford Escape, front; 2008-2011 Mercury Mariner, front; and 2008-2009 Mazda Tribute, front. Verify caliper piston type and front brake configuration before installation, especially on 2009-2012 Ford Escape and 2009-2011 Mercury Mariner models with steel front caliper pistons or steel piston calipers. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect caliper slides, and follow proper pad bed-in procedures after installation.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are 100% inspected for critical dimensions and balance, and each rotor is backed by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance, while the hardware kit is built to OE-style form, fit, and function.
