Refresh the rear brakes on your 1998 Volkswagen Jetta with the Dynamic Friction Company Disc Brake Kit 4512-74096, a complete rear-axle package that bundles GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and the matching hardware kit so you can complete the job in one order. It's a direct-fit replacement for the listed 1998 Volkswagen Jetta application — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level details.
Rotors and pads work best replaced as matched sets per axle for even, balanced braking. Every rotor carries a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
What vehicle does this kit fit?
It is a direct-fit rear disc brake kit for the 1998 Volkswagen Jetta. Check the Buyer's Guide tab to confirm the correct application for your vehicle.
What comes in this kit?
The kit includes DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and the matching disc brake hardware kit for the rear axle.
Are the brake pads ceramic?
Yes. The DFC 5000 pads are an asbestos-free ceramic formulation with Rubber-Steel-Rubber shims that help reduce noise and produce low, light-colored dust during everyday street driving.
Do the rotors need cleaning before installation?
No. The GEOSPEC coated rotors are processed dry and shipped dry, ready to install without any additional degreasing; the coating is swept away by the pads during normal braking.
Should I replace both sides at once?
For even, balanced braking it's best practice to replace rotors and pads on both sides of the axle together as matched sets.
