Product Details

DFC 4514-54000 is a brake service kit engineered around OE-style fitment and performance requirements for Jaguar S-Type, Jaguar Vanden Plas, and Jaguar XJ8 applications. The rotors are cast to G3000/G11H18 specifications, machined to tight tolerances, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance. The pads are formulated for consistent friction response, while the included hardware is designed to restore proper spring tension and caliper movement during brake service.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

Common Brake Service Issues

• Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
• Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weakened clips
• Rotor rust buildup that affects braking feel and appearance
• Longer stopping distances from worn friction surfaces
• Vibration or harshness during braking

Installation Notes

Before installation, confirm the vehicle is one of the listed applications and verify front and rear brake service requirements. Clean all mating surfaces, inspect calipers and slides, and follow proper torque procedures during assembly. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during the brake job.

Quality Assurance

DFC brake pads are post-cured and scorched for consistent friction behavior, and the rotors are 100% inspected after machining to confirm critical specifications. DFC GeoSpec rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
