Refresh the front brakes in a single box with the Dynamic Friction brake kit 4512-73166, a front-axle disc brake kit that combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and the matching disc brake hardware. It installs as a direct-fit replacement for the 2021-2023 Audi A7 Sportback, the 2018-2019 and 2021-2024 Audi RS5, and the 2019 and 2021-2025 Audi RS5 Sportback.
DFC 5000 ceramic pads: 100% post-cured and scorched to burn off uncured bonding agents, which minimizes the initial break-in period. Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims improve NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness), and the friction is 100% asbestos-free.
GEOSPEC coated rotors: cast from the G3000/G11H18 cast iron specification and finished with a durable silver-gray GEOSPEC coating that fights rust better than conventional paint or zinc coatings. Each rotor is machined with a non-directional finish to promote faster, more even pad bed-in and smoother stops, and ships ready to install dry with no degreasing.
Hardware kit: stainless steel hardware with PTFE coating and rubber-coated abutment clips helps reduce noise, vibration, and premature wear.
The GEOSPEC rotors are engineered to match OEM specifications for durability, reliability, and stability, and each rotor carries a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
What is included in the Dynamic Friction brake kit 4512-73166?
It's a front-axle kit that includes GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and the matching disc brake hardware kit, all in one package.
Is this the right RS5 brake kit for a 2018-2019 or 2021-2024 Audi RS5?
It's listed for the 2018-2019 and 2021-2024 Audi RS5, plus the 2019 and 2021-2025 Audi RS5 Sportback. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm your exact year and model.
Are the brake pads ceramic?
Yes. The DFC 5000 ADVANCED pads use a 100% asbestos-free ceramic formulation with rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved NVH (noise, vibration, and harshness).
Which axle is this kit for?
This kit is for the front axle. It supplies the front rotors, pads, and hardware for the listed applications.
Do the rotors need to be cleaned before installing?
No. The GEOSPEC coated rotors are processed and shipped dry and are ready to install without any degreasing; the coating is swept away by the pads during break-in.
