What is the GEOSPEC rotor coating?
It's a special paint that forms a silver-gray finish designed to resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. The rotors ship dry and ready to install with no pre-degreasing needed.
Are the brake pads ceramic?
Yes. The DFC 5000 pads are a 100% asbestos-free ceramic formulation with Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims for improved noise, vibration and harshness (NVH).
Do I need to replace both sides?
This kit covers the front axle. For even, balanced braking it's best to replace the pads and rotors on both sides together as a matched set.
