The Story
Brake Kit for Cadillac STS Front and Rear
Upgrade braking on the 2009-2011 Cadillac STS with the DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Low Metallic and Hardware Kit, part number 4514-46019. This disc brake kit combines coated rotors, low-metallic pads, and matching hardware for a complete front and rear brake service on the STS with 5 lug wheels and performance rear brakes.
Key Features
- Fits 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, front and rear
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed rotors arrive ready to install
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced low-metallic pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction performance
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce noise, vibration, and harshness
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Details
Part number 4514-46019 is built for drivers looking for a complete brake service package for the Cadillac STS. The coated rotors are machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and balanced where required to support consistent pedal feel and quiet operation. The 5000 Advanced brake pads are formulated for specific axle requirements and are prepared to reduce initial break-in time while delivering stable stopping performance. The included hardware kit is designed to restore proper caliper movement and spring tension when servicing worn brake components.
This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion
- Brake noise during stops
- Uneven pad wear
- Reduced braking smoothness
- Excessive caliper movement from fatigued hardware
Installation Notes
Compatible With 2009-2011 Cadillac STS, front and rear, 5 lug wheels, with performance rear brakes. Verify axle position and brake configuration before installation. Clean all mating surfaces, follow proper torque specifications, and complete a controlled bed-in procedure after installation. Part number 4514-46019 is supplied dry and ready for installation without additional rotor preparation.
Quality Assurance
DFC rotors are manufactured to OE specifications and undergo 100% inspection of critical attributes. Vented rotors are electronically mill-balanced when needed, and each rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
