Brake Kit for Ford Escape and Transit Connect
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware kit is a complete disc brake service solution for select Ford applications. Part number 4514-54102 combines coated rotors, ceramic pads, and matching brake hardware to support consistent braking performance, reduced corrosion on rotor surfaces, and OE-style fitment.
- Complete disc brake kit with rotors, pads, and hardware
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads for reduced break-in time and initial stopping response
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise and vibration control
- Non-directional rotor finish for even pad bed-in and smoother stops
- OE-spec cast iron rotor construction and tight machining tolerances
Product Line Details
The DFC GEOSPEC rotor line is processed dry and ready to install, which eliminates the need to clean oil-coated rotors before service. The coated surface is designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the machined rotor surface and balance inspection help maintain stable braking feel. The 5000 Advanced pad line uses post-cured, scorched ceramic friction material and OE-style shims to support quiet operation and predictable pedal response.
Compatible Vehicles
- Fits 2013-2016 Ford Escape, front and rear
- Fits 2014-2017 Ford Transit Connect, front and rear
- Fits 2018 Ford Transit Connect, front and rear, vehicle production date to 5/27/2018 (12mm studs)
This part number 4514-54102 is a direct match for service work on Ford Escape and Ford Transit Connect brake systems listed above. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Common Brake Service Issues
- Brake noise from worn or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by corroded or weak hardware components
- Rotor rust buildup on exposed braking surfaces
- Longer stopping distances from worn pads and rotors
- Brake vibration or rough pedal feel from uneven rotor finish
Installation Notes
Inspect calipers, slides, and mounting points before installation. Replace worn hardware during brake service to help restore proper spring tension and caliper movement. The coated rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, and the pad surface is prepared to reduce initial break-in time. Verify the 2018 Ford Transit Connect production date and 12mm stud requirement before ordering.
Quality Assurance
DFC machines each rotor to tight tolerances, applies a non-directional finish, and inspects critical dimensions to meet OE specifications. Vented rotors are balance-checked and corrected when needed. Every rotor includes a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
