Refresh your rear brakes in one box with the DYNAMIC FRICTION brake kit 4512-74122, a complete rear disc brake kit that pairs DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads and a matching hardware kit. It's a direct-fit replacement for the 2006-2009 Volkswagen Passat, 2008-2012 Audi S3, 2009-2011 Volkswagen CC, 2013 Volkswagen Golf, 2012-2013 Volkswagen Golf R, and 2015-2021 Volkswagen GTI — see the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment. Designed to meet the same form, fit, and function as OEM, it installs with no modifications required.
Chamfered and slotted where applicable to help reduce braking noise.
What comes in this Golf brake kit?
Each kit includes DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors, DFC 5000 ceramic brake pads, and a stainless steel disc brake hardware kit for the rear axle — everything needed for a complete rear brake job.
Does this GTI brake kit fit the front or rear?
This is a rear disc brake kit. It's cataloged for the rear axle of the listed applications, including the 2015-2021 Volkswagen GTI.
Do the rotors need cleaning before installation?
No. The GEOSPEC coated rotors are processed dry, shipped dry, and ready to install with no additional pre-degreasing. The friction material safely sweeps away the coating during use.
Are the brake pads ceramic?
Yes. The DFC 5000 pads use a 100% asbestos-free ceramic formulation with rubber-steel-rubber shims, engineered for low dust, quiet operation, and smooth pedal feel in everyday street driving.
Should I replace both sides at once?
Yes. Brakes are best serviced as a matched set per axle for even, balanced braking, so replacing both sides together is recommended when installing this rear kit.
