The Story
Brake Kit for Cadillac STS Front and Rear
Restore braking performance on your 2009-2011 Cadillac STS with the DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit, part number 4514-46018. This complete disc brake kit is built for front and rear service on STS models with 5-lug wheels and standard rear brakes.
Key Features
- Fits 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, front and rear
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with corrosion-resistant silver-gray finish
- DFC 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pad surface for reduced break-in time and consistent initial bite
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
- Hardware kit included for a complete brake service
- Part number 4514-46018 for application matching
Product Details
The DFC GEOSPEC rotor design uses G3000/G11H18 cast iron and a non-directional finish to support even pad bedding and smoother stopping. The rotors are processed dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during brake service. The 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are formulated for stable friction performance and are assembled with shims that help reduce brake noise and vibration. Together, these components provide a service kit tailored to the braking requirements of the Cadillac STS.
This part number 4514-46018 is a direct-fit brake service solution for Cadillac STS front and rear brake maintenance. It is also a practical choice when searching for a 2009 Cadillac STS brake kit, 2010 Cadillac STS front and rear brake kit, or 2011 Cadillac STS disc brake kit with coated rotors and ceramic pads.
What This Kit Helps Address
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by aged caliper hardware
- Rust buildup on exposed rotor surfaces
- Reduced stopping consistency from worn friction components
- Longer service time caused by rotor prep and separate parts sourcing
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, front and rear, 5-lug wheels, with standard rear brakes. Verify rotor size, caliper condition, and brake system configuration before installation. Clean all mating surfaces, follow proper torque procedures, and complete a controlled bed-in process after installation. Part number 4514-46018 is intended for axle-level brake service on the listed application.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. The rotors carry a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship. The brake pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction characteristics, and the hardware uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel construction for OE-style fit and function.
