The Story
Front Brake Kit for BMW 325i, 325is, 325iX, 325e, 325es
DFC Friction part 4512-31141 is a front disc brake kit built for select 1984-1991 BMW 3 Series applications with ATE calipers. It combines GEOSPEC coated rotors, 5000 Advanced ceramic brake pads, and matching hardware for a complete front brake service on the listed BMW models.
Key Features
- GEOSPEC coated rotors with a silver-gray corrosion-resistant finish
- Rotors are processed dry and ready to install without oil removal
- G3000/G11H18 cast iron construction for OE-style durability and stability
- Non-directional rotor finish supports even pad bed-in and smoother braking
- 5000 Advanced ceramic pads are post-cured and scorched for stable friction
- Premium rubber-steel-rubber shims help reduce brake noise and vibration
- Hardware kit uses PTFE coating, vulcanized rubber, and stainless steel
Product Line Details
The DFC GEOSPEC Coated Rotors with 5000 Advanced Brake Pads - Ceramic and Hardware line is designed as a complete brake service package. The rotor coating helps resist rust during everyday use, while the pad compound and shim design focus on consistent stopping performance and reduced NVH. Part number 4512-31141 is a practical choice for drivers servicing the front brakes on classic BMW 325i, 325is, 325iX, 325e, or 325es models.
What This Brake Kit Helps Address
- Front brake rotor rust and surface corrosion
- Brake noise from worn pads or fatigued hardware
- Uneven pad wear caused by aged hardware components
- Longer pedal response from worn friction material
- Brake vibration related to rotor condition or finish
Installation Notes and Tips
Fits 1987-1991 BMW 325i, front, with ATE calipers; 1987-1991 BMW 325is, front, with ATE calipers; 1988-1991 BMW 325iX, front, with ATE calipers; 1984-1987 BMW 325e, front, with ATE calipers; and 1986-1987 BMW 325es, front, with ATE calipers. The rotors arrive dry and ready for installation, which helps reduce prep time during a front brake job. For proper results, clean the hub mounting surface, verify caliper condition, and follow the vehicle-specific bed-in procedure after installation. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
Quality Assurance
DFC states that each rotor is machined to tight tolerances, inspected for critical dimensions, and checked for balance on vented designs. The rotors include a 12-month warranty against defects in material and workmanship.
