The Story
Rear Brake Kit for BMW X5 and X6
The DFC GEOSPEC Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads kit is a rear disc brake service kit for select BMW X5 and BMW X6 applications. Part number 4502-31260 combines coated rotors and matched pads in one package for a straightforward brake service on the rear axle.
Key Features
- Rear disc brake kit with rotors and pads
- DFC GEOSPEC coated rotors with silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Dry-processed, dry-shipped rotors ready for installation
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron rotor construction for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish for more even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- DFC 5000 Advanced pads with post-cured friction material
- Scorched pads to reduce initial break-in time
- Rubber-steel-rubber shims for improved noise, vibration, and harshness control
Product Details
DFC Brake Kits are built to simplify rear brake service by pairing the correct rotors and pads for the application. The GEOSPEC rotor coating helps resist rust better than conventional paint or zinc finishes, while the machined surface and balance inspection support consistent braking performance. The 5000 Advanced pads are formulated for stable friction, with post-curing and scorching steps that help deliver predictable stopping response from the first stop.
This part number, 4502-31260, is listed for rear fitment on 2007-2018 BMW X5 and 2008-2019 BMW X6. It also covers select 2008 BMW X6 rear applications with production date to 10/2008, plus 2010-2011 BMW X6 rear configurations with optional full cast disc rotors or front rotors with original design aluminum hat. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
What This Brake Kit Helps Address
- Rear brake wear on BMW X5 and BMW X6 vehicles
- Rotor rust and surface corrosion on exposed brake components
- Brake noise and vibration during everyday driving
- Uneven pad bedding after rotor replacement
- Reduced braking consistency from worn pads and rotors
Installation Notes
Compatible With rear brake service on BMW X5 and BMW X6 models listed above. Verify rotor configuration and production date before ordering, especially for 2010-2011 BMW X6 vehicles with alternate rear brake designs. The rotors are shipped dry and ready to install, which helps reduce prep time during service. Part number 4502-31260 should be matched to the vehicle’s rear axle application before installation.
Quality Assurance
Each DFC GEOSPEC rotor is machined to tight tolerances, finished with a non-directional surface, and inspected for critical dimensions and balance where applicable. Every rotor is covered by a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
